Score 97/100 · Drink 2006-2021, Robert Parker, Oct 2006
From 99-year-old vines planted next to Chris Ringland’s vineyard, the 2003 Shiraz, cropped at .75 tons of fruit per acre, offers superb floral, blackberry, cassis, creosote, and camphor notes along with hints of incense and pepper. Fabulously rich, full-bodied, and multilayered, with a finish that lasts nearly a minute, it is a compelling red to drink over the next 15+ years. Importer: Dan Philips, The Grateful Palate, Oxnard, CA; tel. (888) 472-5283
