Description

Deep brick red. Intense aniseed/ liquorice/ dark fruit/ mocha aromas. Lovely concentrated wine with dark fruit/ mocha flavours, underlying miso-soup/ savoury oak and dry chalky touch muscular tannins. Finishes very firm and hard but it has plenty of flavour length. A “dark horse” vintage. 90% Shiraz 10% Cabernet Sauvignon.

“A blend of 90% Shiraz and 10% Cabernet Sauvignon, this vintage was considered as a "good yet tannic Grange." Certainly the tannins have become beautifully integrated in this sweet, expansive, full-bodied wine, with notes of subtle leather, melted asphalt, blackberry, and coffee. It is a very powerful, rich, deep, muscular wine with enormous concentration, plenty of glycerin and sweetness, and remarkable freshness and vigor. Drink it over the next 12-15 years.” Robert Parker 92 points

Tasted by JerM on 10/16/2011 & rated 96 points: Dense dark garnet in the glass, just barely letting light through the glass. Cork was intact (barely) upon extraction but stained. Some sedimentation in the bottle, as expected.
Upon opening: Expressive vegetal nose, with extensive savoury notes, loamy almost clay-ey wet earth ("almost-like-licking-a-slab-of-rocky-shale"; geosmin), dark chocolate and espresso, along with hints of rum, and funky old socks. It tastes like it smells: more mocha espresso, dusty shale, beef stock, burnt butter, chilli seeds, slightly nutty with some light berries and plums on the side and pine/cedar notes giving it a healthy vertical lift to the luxuriously rich and velvety tannins. Powerful, focused, textured and intense without being excessive or opulent, with it's head well on its shoulders showing austere, clean and pure lines. A true old-school debonair who really knows his way around.
After decanting 4 hrs: Even more developed flavors bloom, now further revealing minty butter menthol, brand's chicken essence, tar, horse paddock, mushrooms, stewy beef consome, damp pine forest (the Pacific Rim temperate rain-forest sort), ginseng characters, undergirded with a pleasant bitterness reminiscent of blood grapefruit.
Certainly memorable and attractive on its own, but also a perfect companion, holding well on its own without insecurity: because there was simply so much complexity going on with the savoury, coffee and textural notes that it paired winningly with Adel's Bakwa, Justina's Chocolate Torte, and even Grace's Strawberry Cupcakes - perfectly!

Tasted by Anonymous on 12/1/2005 & rated 99 points: Simply amazing, profound wine.....consensus Wine of the night and received EVERY vote. People were simply shaking their heads.
