Rosemount Balmoral Syrah McLaren Vale, Australia 2004

"A distinctive Syrah with a lovely chariness that supports the dark berry, black olive and cocoa flavors, and offers great length to the palate. A generous but structured wine with layers of persistent flavour." (90pts) Wine & Spirits and Wine Advocate
