Review for Kingston Estate ‘Echelon’ Shiraz 2002

    edwardragg Wine Blogger July 22, 2008
    Appearance: deep purple-red, slight orange rim. Nose: bright, restrained blueberry and black cherry fruit with integrated oak, hint of eucalyptus. Palate: lovely fruit, touch of eucalyptus, medium chewy tannins, medium acidity and nicely integrated high alcohol. Good length too. Conclusion: this is a blend of fruit sourced from Barossa, McLaren Vale and the Clare Valley – with the eucalyptus note apparently coming from the Clare Valley fruit in this case. Well-made and showing some of the restraint of the cooler 2002 vintage. Drink now to 2012, perhaps beyond.
