Voyager Estate Shiraz 2002 (review)
91 points
Margaret River, Western Australia.
Candy bright colour with black hues. A smokey (smoked meats), tight but rich shiraz. An unusual style for Australia. Like an Alan Graillot Crozes Hermitage or even perhaps August Clape Cornas... with less concentration and a tad more alcohol.
Very good indeed with food. Quite a bit of acidity on the finish suggests a long future.
A very stylish wine. With greater concentration and age this would be propelled into the super league of wines.
Great value (A$25), v.good aging potential.

A second bottle had a surprising amount of acidity. Perhaps it was the meal match but it really seemed like more acid than previously. So be warned. Match carefully to food.
