The 2005 Enchanted Path (66% Shiraz and 34% Cabernet Sauvignon aged in primarily American oak 60% new) is fashioned from relatively young vines. It reveals an amazing opaque purple/blue/black color (always a hallmark of Marquis wines) a full-bodied powerful smoky nose extravagant layers of fruit spice glycerin and extract full body superb intensity tremendous richness and a seamless personality. It is a textbook example of a southern Australian red at its richest fullest and most pure. For consumers with open minds and progressive palates this amazing red should age beautifully for 10-15 years.
