1997 Chateau Reynella Shiraz Basket Pressed Tasting Notes

Low neck fill but cork extracted cleanly. Opaque purple/black in glass with thin cherry rim. Lovely, expansive bouquet. Good fruit on palate with drying tannins. No gratuitous sweetness or heat (13.5% alcohol). Probaly 3 or 4 years past its peak but drinking nicely. Lots of sludge inside bottle. Drink up! 89/100.
