Score 90-92/100 · Drink 2005-2017, Robert Parker, Oct 2005

Revealing a cooler climate style, the 2004 Shiraz reveals abundant richness, but more nuances as well as a more streamlined character, which Europhiles will find more palatable than the bigger-than-life 2003. The 2004 should drink well young, yet age nicely for 10-12 years. This red is a concentrated, full-throttle effort representing a classic example of Barossa winemaking, and, like so many Australian and New Zealand wines, it is finished with a screw cap.

Score 86/100 · Josh Raynolds, Sep 2005

Medium ruby. Ripe blackberry and bitter chocolate scents with a suggestion of roasted coffee. Sweet and fat, with sappy cassis and mocha flavors. Lush and supple through the finish, which shows a sappy dark berry quality and virtually no tannins.
