Kirrihill Estates Clare Valley Shiraz 2002 (review)

75 points - OK-ish

From Clare Valley, South Australia

15% Stelvin screwcap

Dark concentrated wine. But simple, sweet with clumsy commercial oaking. No hint of terrior - is this Clare ? Could be riverland. Even as a BBQ wine this was not enjoyable.

This is a very good example of how concentration - though usually a hallmark of top wines - is not enough by itself.
