TWO HANDS WINES SHIRAZ ARES 2003

Barossa Valley, South Australia.

One of the most expensive offerings in this portfolio is the 2003 Shiraz Ares, a 230-case cuvee that flirts with perfection. A selection of the best lots of Bella’s Garden, it is a kinky, but fabulous Shiraz fashioned from very old vines, and aged in 100% new French oak (which is barely noticeable given the wine’s concentration). An opaque purple color is accompanied by a flamboyant, riveting bouquet of roasted meats, blackberry liqueur, charcoal, and white flowers. Full-bodied and voluptuous with amazing purity, concentration, and texture, this sensational Australian red should drink well for 15-20 years. October 2005 WA 98

1 6 ltr.    per lot $1,000 - $1,200

Realised: $1,920
Price Includes Buyer's Premium ?
