Tasting Notes
The wine is a deep and dark wine much like the 2006 vintage. Rich,
savoury character of Shiraz with specifics flavours of blackberries,
cherries, cassis and floral tones. Good richness of ripe fruit and
pepper-spice supported by a firm tanins structure. Very good oak
integration. The palate entry develop tremendous concentration of
flavours with a very good complexity and a fresh long finish.

Cropped at 44 hectoliter per hectare, the 2007 Grand Vin de Glenelly is a
blend of 44% Shiraz, 31% Cabernet Sauvignon, 24% Merlot and 1% Petit
Verdot raised for 18 months in one-third new oak. It has a very ripe,
broody bouquet with blackberry, iodine, cassis and a touch of brine that
handles the oak very well. The palate is medium-bodied with good
acidity and very impressive harmony, the oak is seamlessly integrated
and leads to a very seductive, tobacco and spice-tinged finish. This
should age well. Drink now-2017.
