2004 Reilly's Shiraz Dry Land

**2004 Reilly's Shiraz Dry Land (Australia, South Australia, Mount Lofty Ranges, Clare Valley)** The nose had mostly blueberry and tar. There was also a little bit of chocolate and licorice, some pepper, and a big shot of creme and cherry and the end. The palate was rich, sweet, and juicy. It had lots of cherry and blueberry, a touch of mocha, tar, and pepper, and a very good licorice finish. The tannins were nice and firm, so it should drink well for 5 or 6 more years at least.
