Tasting Notes

WA98

Readers looking for a clone of the famed Clarendon Hills luxury cuvee of 100% Shiraz called Astralis can find it in the 1997 Shiraz La Testa. This is a profound, prodigiously rich wine with a saturated black/purple color and knock-out aromas of burning charcoal fire, jammy blackberries, cassis, and melted asphalt. Extremely full-bodied, with a viscous texture and high alcohol, this enormously endowed wine will improve for 10-15 years, and last for three decades. An impressive new producer that will thrill wine enthusiasts!
