Grant Burge Meshach Shiraz 1988
Rather leathery and drying out, but still revealing a complex musky, spicy and leathery bouquet of fragrant violets, small red berries, cherries and plums with creamy vanilla and milk chocolate oak. A little hot and drying out, fractionally porty, it lacks a little finesse. Drink 1996-2000. Burge says it will peak soon, but falls short of his vision of a 20 year wine.

Winery
Grant Burge
Since 2015 the Grant Burge label has been part of the Accolade Wines stable. A well-known Barossa brand with a collection of well-known reds headed by the Meshach Shiraz, it has become rather more expensive over recent years during which tie it has struggled to maintain consistency and quality.
