Lot #288. Noon Shiraz Reserve 1999

Description: Consists of 4 Bottles, 0.75L
Score: 96 RP.
"The hugely extracted, massive 1999 Shiraz Reserve tips the scales . . . . From Shiraz vines that average 35-40 years of age, it was aged in a combination of small and large oak barrels as well as puncheons. There are 580 cases of this behemoth. An opaque blue/purple color and a knockout nose of blackberry liqueur intermixed with spice box, pepper, asphalt, and licorice soar from the glass. Opulent and viscous, with tremendous palate presence, beautifully integrated acidity, tannin, and alcohol, this superb, larger-than-life wine is a tour de force for a lighter weight vintage such as 1999." Wine Advocate #135, Jun 2001
Provenance: The Silver Cellar
Lot Location: Orange County
Estimate: $350
