Better then the Cabernet/Merlot, is the elegant yet powerful and persuasive, deep ruby/purple-colored 2001 Shiraz. Possessing more texture, fat, and flesh than the two Bordeaux look-alikes, it is, nevertheless, elegant by Australian Shiraz standards, with a clean, floral, peppery bouquet, and a spicy finish.
