2004 MadFish Shiraz Reviews

“There is plenty to admire in the MadFish Shiraz 2004, a rare listing from Western Australia... it is smoky, earthy, spicy and the black cherry, mineral flavours over-deliver. This is a bargain.”

“Deeply coloured with aromas of black fruits and touches of chocolate and pepper. A rich palate with plenty of spicy, black fruits with fine tannins. Alcohol 14.5%.”

“Sweet liqueur-like spicy nose. The palate has lovely dense spicy fruit. Ripe and full with great concentration of sweet ripe berry and black fruits. Lively with good acidity and a vivid, spicy tarriness. An attractive modern-styled wine.”

“Dark and inky-hued. On first impression, ample aromas reveal big blackberry, smoky cured meat, vanilla bean and bayberry accents. The flavours show lots of smoky cedar and blackberry jam, with a spicy, cedary core lingering on the finish and a hint of black pepper adding lift. This is very tasty stuff!”

“Ruby-red. Charry, toasty raspberry and plum jam aromas are lush and spicy. Fresh, tangy and incisive, the red berry tones repeating on the palate, along with subtle mocha and tobacco hints. Finishes with a sweet, almost candied note of raspberry. Delicious and easy to like, very good value.”
