(GSM Reserve #1) - from klwines.com: The 1999 Grant Burge Barossa GSM Reserve #1 is a blend of 37% Grenache, 42% Shiraz and 21% Mourvèdre. All of the fruit came from vines at least 50 years old; it was hand picked, then destemmed. The juice was fermented in temperature-controlled stainless steel with pumping over, and then macerated for 30 days with pumping over twice a day. The wine was then matured in one- and two-year-old French barrels for 16 months. The result of this meticulous attention to detail is a wine with deep purple and garnet color, and a nose redolent of dark berry aromas and violets with notes of clove and mint. The palate is a mouthfilling burst of red and black berry fruit with a bit of spice and fine oak notes. The wine is well balanced with a nice, long finish. The five years in the bottle have allowed this wine to develop added complexity.

Fruit bomb! The nose in this wine is SPECTACULAR. Black and red berry fruit is obvious, and a sort of pepper is also detected on the nose. On the palate reigns the shiraz and grenache combination with structure imparted by the mourvedre and shiraz. LONG LONG finish. This wine reminded me of the Languedoc of France, but with such forward fruit, it shows to be a product of Australia. Very distinct varietal character on the palate and great tannins, but not over done. I did feel like I should be looking for something more with this wine, but that fell short. ... + or - evals...
