2007 Richard Hamilton Gumpr's Shiraz


Purchased by accident. When buying half a dozen of the '08, this '07 somehow got mixed up with it. The professional reviews are ordinary, I think it is pretty good, in fact this was terrific until right at the end. Lovely nose of plum and developing earth and chocolate. The full bodied palate is spicy with black fruit and plum, but loses some balance and/or structure on the back palate. Tannins are drying and the finish quite long. Overall, for the price paid, OK value. My score 83/100. Buy again, no.
