The Factor Barossa Valley Shiraz

Its been at least a decade since my last Factor, nose reminds me of a Washington Syrah.
Magnum, but soft cork in need of the Durand corkscrew

Even at 13 this remains a huge wine. Barossa shiraz classico.

Dense fruit, jammy, soft tannins, not oxidized, chocolate tone, perfect with mixed grill-ribeye, lamb riblets, 2004 vintage.

Absolutely amazing, so much fruit. Cherries, mulberries, tannins as smooth as silk.
