The score for 1997 Clarendon Hills Piggot Range Syrah McLaren Vale is 96 from Robert Parker and the tasting note - The massive 1997 Shiraz Piggott Range Vineyard (14.5% natural alcohol) slightly spicy, but is a classic in the sense of its fabulous display of cassis and blackberry fruit. Extremely full-bodied, with surreal levels of extract and richness, this powerful, mouth-staining Shiraz should be at its peak between 2000-2015. This wine is a crowd-pleasing, exotic offering that takes the level of richness and hedonism to sensational heights. This wine is worth trying if only because of its compelling purity, opulence, and explosive richness.
