Score 96/100 · Drink 2006-2020, Robert Parker, Oct 2005

A fabulous offering is the 2002 Shiraz Black Guts. Made from 36-year-old vines cropped at 1-2 tons of fruit per acre, it boasts an inky/purple color followed by a sumptuous nose of blueberries, blackberries, cold steel, acacia flowers, and subtle new oak. Layers of fruit and purity cascade over the palate of this long, rich, full-bodied, voluptuously textured, impeccably balanced Shiraz. Anticipated maturity: 2006-2020+. Importer: Dan Philips, The Grateful Palate, Oxnard, CA; tel. (888) 472-5283

Sweet and without obvious alcohol – despite the 16 per cent declared on the label! Tightly reined in. Many would love this. No shortage of fruit or flavour. Good structure. Cassis. Bravo! (JR)
