Lot #3563. Silesian Shiraz Cabernet 1998

Description: Consists of 2 Bottles, 0.75L
Score: 92 RP.
"Exhibiting a deep plum/ruby color, the 1998 Silesian is a blend of 80% Shiraz (120-year old vines) and 20% Cabernet Sauvignon (30-year old vines) aged 18 months in 100% French oak (about 20% new). Low yields of 1 to 1.5 tons of fruit per acre have resulted in a backward, concentrated, impressive offering not yet revealing all it possesses. Aromas of bacon fat, cassis, blackberries, and white flowers as well as a hint of tar reluctantly emerge from the bouquet. Layered, full-bodied, and concentrated, but still primary and backward, it requires coaxing as well as bottle age." Wine Advocate #148, Aug 2003
Provenance: The Silver Cellar
Lot Location: Orange County
Estimate: $90
