Three Rivers Shiraz 1996
#0446
Bottle (1)
"The 1996 Chris Ringland (formerly Three Rivers) Shiraz (now known as 'Chris Ringland Shiraz' due to a name dispute), has a very deep garnet-black color with intensely spicy aromas - plenty of vanilla, cinnamon and licorice - over a core of chocolate, kirsch, prunes and a whiff of dusty earth. Bacon fat and coffee notes emerge after a few minutes. Big, rich and buxom (15.3% alcohol) in the mouth with plenty of crisp acid and firm very fine tannins to support, it finishes long with layers of spice, dried plums and mocha." (98pts LPB, Wine Advocate #192, Dec 2010)
