Lot #1599. Kilikanoon Shiraz Covenant 2004

Description: Consists of 1 Bottle, 0.75L
Score: 94 RP.
"The spectacular 2004 Shiraz Covenant, essentially declassified fruit not used for the Shiraz Oracle, spent 22 months in 80% French and 20% American 300 liter hogsheads. In fact, Kilikanoon does not use any small barrels, preferring the larger 300 liter vessels. Perhaps that accounts for the glorious levels of fruit and subtle oak influence in even the more expensive cuvees that are aged in 100% new oak. The dense, plum/purple-hued, full-bodied Shiraz Covenant exhibits notes of tapenade, blackberries, asphalt, truffles, and roasted meats. With a gorgeous texture as well as good opulence, vibrancy, and definition . . ." Wine Advocate #167, Oct 2006
Provenance: The Sea Cliff Cellar
Lot Location: Orange County
Estimate: $30
