Fashioned from a 30-year-old vineyard, the dense ruby/purple-colored 2002 Shiraz St. Jakobi was aged 24 months in both new and old French and American foudres. Layered and full-bodied, with notes of espresso roast, creosote, blackberries, currants, licorice, and pepper, this rich, full-throttle, classic Barossa Shiraz can be consumed now and over the next 10-12 years.
