Score 90/100 · Drink 2002-2012, Robert Parker, Oct 2002
From a single vineyard planted in 1891 in alluvial soil, this elegant, restrained Shiraz has more in common with a French northern Rhone than a typical blockbuster, meaty southern Australian example. It possesses sweet, round, concentrated black currant fruit with subtle floral nuances. Medium-bodied with sweet tannin as well as an elegant, stylish personality, it should drink well for a decade.
