Mount Langi Ghiran Ghiran Shiraz 1999 - 01/25/08

This poured into the decanter a clear garnet, with some sediment in bottle but not nearly as much as some have suggested. Mine opened tight, too, with plum, cherry and smoke with some unidentifiable spice. Am decanting and will taste back in an hour. Note: there is a lot of sediment in here, but it is so fine that it doesn't get trapped in the screen. Stop pouring/use a candle to keep the sediment from making the wine cloudy. After decanting, this is unliike any other Aussie shiraz I've had, powerful but with balance. Deep plum, smoke and sandalwood aromas and flavors. Had with steak and all the fixings, and the flavors were nice with that, but I actually think this would be better with lamb or stew.

Mount Langi Ghiran Ghiran Shiraz 1999 - 06/13/07

Mount Langi Ghiran Shiraz has become an international wine icon, reinforced by its appearance alongside Penfolds Grange and Henschke's Mount Eldelston on the cover of Wine Spectator's Pinnacle of Australian Shiraz' story in 1996. Now a well recognised benchmark for cool climate Australian shiraz, it is favorably compared with the northern Rhone syrah of Cote Rotie. Trevor Mast, regarded as one of the Australian winemaking pioneers, creates shiraz with finesse without the sacrifice of power. Voted Best Red Wine' at The 2001 Exhibition of Victorian Winemakers, the 1999 Shiraz is a dark evocative purple with intense perfumes of cracked pepper, spice and brambly blackberry fruits. The palate is equally as intense and complex, with flavors of black fruits, pepper, spice and liquorice all seemlessly balanced by natural acidity and fine tannins.
