- Rather fake fruity smells, plus menthol. Punishingly chewy on the palate. Tough. Just lacks a bit of freshness. Harsh tannins. Were they added?

- Complex and intense, Print Shiraz is made from grapes from selected low yielding mature Shiraz vines. The most concentrated expression of Central Victorian Shiraz produced in the Mitchelton style, Print is a true collectors item. Matured in barrel and bottle, it is three years old on release and is an ideal cellaring proposition, with many vintages maturing for two decades or more. First produced in 1980, past vintages carried labels featuring Australian artwork commissioned under the Micthelton Print Award. From 1998 onwards Print carries the In Woo's Wood print by Tim Jones, which read more...featured on the 1992 wine, a year recognised as setting the benchmark in wine quality and style. The velvety tannins are an excellent finish to the powerful prun, plum and chocolate richness that makes this wine so enticing, seductive and refined. (hide)
