July Feature Wine: BEST BUY
Kassebaum Magdalena Shiraz 2003
Lots 1062 to 1086
Best Buy? With credentials like Torbreck and Greenock Creek
as neighbours, location is good as it gets.
Handmade from premium shiraz grapes sold for Grange quality wines,
the 2003 Kassebaum Magdalena is a bargain at a reserve of $20.
Buy a box and enjoy this silky smooth Barossa Premium that is way too classy to
be called a "critter".
Silky finish, fine tannins, beautiful elegant fruit and alcohol that
doesn't rock the boat.
I have tried it, I like it, I would buy it! Lynton.
