Score 92/100 · Drink 2005-2013, Robert Parker, Oct 2005

One of this estate’s flagship cuvees, the 2003 Shiraz exhibits a dense ruby/purple hue along with a classic nose of smoky creme de cassis, blackberries, licorice, spice, and pepper. This deep, velvety-textured, full-bodied Shiraz will offer a substantial mouthful of wine over the next 7-8 years. Importer: George Galey, American Estates Wines, Summit, NJ; tel. (908) 273-5060

Quite cool perfume then much richer and thicker on the palate. Still extremely youthful and chewy. Lots of tannin still in evidence. Sells for about £16 or 17 apparently. Not nearly ready. (JR)

Score 89/100 · Josh Raynolds, Jul 2005

Deep ruby. Brooding aroma of roasted sweet cassis accented by floral notes of violet, lavender and dried rose. Fat and concentrated, with sweet blackberry, roasted strawberry, mocha and chocolate flavors complemented by hints of fresh bay and peppery mint. Finishes with supple, rounded tannins.
