Deep garnet-brick colored, 2002 Grandfather’s Reserve Shiraz gives a gamey / meat and leather character over notes of crème de cassis, plum compote, blueberry pie and licorice with nuances of cloves and mocha. Medium-full bodied, it offers a very good concentration of savory flavor layers with a medium-firm level of rounded tannins, refreshing acidity and a long finish. Drink it now to 2017+.
