Cederberg Shiraz 2002 tasting notes:
Power with elegance, modern and delicious... Rich but fresh, firm but approachable. Intense shiraz fruit. You won't be able to resist the generous dark chocolate, roasted coffee and mulberry fruit with lots of spicy flavours. Delicious juicy tannic texture. Impressive length. Develop superbly over 3 - 6 years.
