1997 Eersterivier Kelder Shiraz

Estate: Eersterivier Kelder

Region: Stellenbosch, Coastal Region, South Africa

Tasting Note:April 14, 2017

Well stored but just tired. Brick red. Definite aged characteristics on the nose with soft berries and red cherries. Low tannins (4/10) and low plus bodied. Dry and short finish. Most of the fruit is gone on the palate but there is some soft red berries, damp earth and a touch of greenery. Drink up if you have it, definitely past its time.
