Mount Langi Ghiran “Langi” Shiraz 2005 Wednesday, May 7 2008
Tasting Notes and Australia and Grampians and Variety and Red and shiraz et al
A rich red. Red cherries and red plums, lifted florals and strikingly deep seated peppery spices. There is also the impression of concentration, and hints of milk chocolate, cocoa and even chocolate. The palate is wonderfully balanced, cherries and plums, blackberries, maybe some raspberry acidity, milky and tangy, ripe but not too sweet, all with some beautiful tannins. Quite primary at the moment, but oh-so easy to drink. No sign of any heat whatsoever.

Well some say the 04 and 05 are neck and neck for quality. I’m going to grab one myself on Friday.
