About this product
TASTING NOTE : The 2005 Shiraz Krystina ( named after Tony De Lisio ' s wife ) is a 100 % Shiraz from relatively young vines planted on one of the limestone and slate sectors of McLaren Vale . Seventy percent new French oak was utilized , and the wine , which was going to bottled unfiltered about one month after I tasted it , exhibits a sweet nose of blackberries , raspberries , smoke , camphor , and graphite . Full - bodied , rich , and intense with sweet but noticeable tannin , a firm structure , and an accessible style , it should age for 12 - 15 years . Score : ( 92 - 94 ) ( Robert Parker , www . erobertparker . com , Oct . 2006 )
