Kilikanoon The Lackey Shiraz 2005

 

Wine Advocate 90 points

Review:Kilikanoon produces some of the world’s finest value-priced, full-flavored, dry reds. The 2005 The Lackey (which is made exclusively for the American importer) emphasizes the ripe, classic, South Australian Shiraz grape aged in old oak and bottled with no fining or filtration. Deep, rich, full-bodied, and elegant, it reveals plenty of berry fruit, pepper, chocolate, and new saddle leather characteristics. Drink this spicy, earthy effort over the next 2-3 years.
