The 1999 vintage offers a bouquet of blackberry, dark cherry, and plum, with notes of black pepper, spice, and earthy minerality. The palate is medium-bodied and structured, with polished tannins and vibrant acidity that balance the fruit. Subtle hints of mocha, leather, and anise add complexity, while the finish is long and elegant, showcasing the wine’s graceful evolution. Gilberts’ traditional winemaking, including hand-harvesting and French oak aging, ensures a wine of precision and finesse. Perfect for pairing with roasted lamb or aged cheeses, this Shiraz is a collector’s treasure, reflecting Mount Barker’s cool-climate terroir and offering a sophisticated drinking experience for enthusiasts seeking a well-aged Australian red.
