Wine Spectator 97 points (Oct 19 2005) This Shiraz consistently ranks as one of the best of any vintage. It’s from the best vineyards involved in the Barossa Valley growers’ co-op, with old vines that deliver tremendous character. Dark, juicy and profound, it has layer upon layer of flavor seamlessly knit into a cohesive whole, offering dark berry, black cherry, exotic spice, black pepper and licorice that keep sailing through the long, vivid finish. Has tremendous style, intensity and a long life ahead of it. Best from 2010 through 2022. From Australia.—H.S.
