DENIS
2004 Shiraz

"Jeanneret’s ’04 flagship is a brawny Clare Valley Shiraz.  Its impenetrable blackish-purple colour introduces an essency nose of great concentration. There’s power in its strong black plum, prune and spicy smells, and almost vintage port-like qualities flood the mouth with ripeness and massive body, resting on grippy tannins.  Big but likeable."
