Tasting Notes
Leather, prune, licorice, plum and blackberry all intermingle on the supple palate; simply dose not have the intense focus of the best 04s, but is a pretty good wine.

The 2003 E & E Black Pepper Shiraz is less densely colored and is slightly muted aromatically. On the palate it is considerably leaner than the 2002 and slightly pinched in the finish where some dry tannin makes its presence known.

Bright, round and juicy. A gorgeous mouthful of cherry, blackberry and floral flavors, lingering on the finish with a touch of dark espresso to add interest. The tannins are polished, and the wine has a keen sense of balance, grace and harmony. Drink now through 2015. 2,000 cases imported.
