The 2004 Five Geese Grenache Shiraz is a generous,
fruity wine with a balanced palate. The spice flavours
are combined with the ripe confectionary fruit sweetness
characteristic of Grenache, but this is balanced
by the earth iron characters, tannins and acidity
of this fruit. The small amount of Shiraz enhances
the palate and adds smoothness and length. This
wine is ready for immediate drinking, but because
this is a big structured wine, it will handsomely
reward careful cellaring.
