Clarendon Hills Astralis Syrah 2005
3
At the top of the pyramid is the 2005 Syrah
Astralis Vineyard. It is sourced from a vineyard
planted in 1920 and is one of the Syrah cuvees in
which 100 new oak is utilized (along with
Brookman, Hickinbotham, and Piggott Range). It
delivers an ethereal bouquet of smoky oak,
violets, espresso, black pepper, blueberry, and
blackberry liqueur. Densely packed and tightly
wound, all it needs is time. The wine is totally
harmonious, impeccably balanced, and
exceptionally long. When it fully unwinds, even
my high rating will appear conservative.

Clonakilla Shiraz Viognier 2004
It has been a remarkable journey for Clonakilla.
When John Kirk planted the first vines in 1971 he
had no idea that his vineyard would one day be
celebrated as one of the best in the country.
Along the way there have been trials and
tribulations as well as moments of unprecendented
success.

Moss Wood Cabernet Sauvignon 1999 (MLD)
The wine has a deep brick red colour and its
condition is brilliant. On the nose it is very
complex. The primary fruit aromas are the
typically Moss Wood redcurrants and mulberries
but with additional pretty aromas like cherry and
red jubes. These lively aromas seem to be the
product of the mild growing season. There are
also notes of coffee beans and chocolate and an
earthy or olive-like note. The oak is soft and
well balanced, giving a toasty background.

Clonakilla Shiraz Viognier 2010

put this in a blind tasting with topend
Cote-Rotie wines of the Rhone Valley and it would
be a bargain, easily outpointing wines costing
far more. Light, bright crimson-purple a highly
fragrant bouquet of red fruits and subtle spices
leads into a medium-bodied palate here more
savoury characters join the fruit, lengthening
the finish. Drink to 2025 95 points James

Moss Wood Cabernet Sauvignon 1995
Classically complex, perfumed bouquet of briary
cassis and mulberries, dark olives and cedary
oak, with a suggestion of Amarone-like dried plum
fruit. Super-ripe and velvet smooth, its
powerful and massively concentrated, with
flavours of black fruits and dark olives wrapped
around a firm cut of slightly kernel-like
tannins. Very balanced nothing untoward sticking
out

Mount Pleasant Maurice OShea Shiraz 2003
An outstanding vintage of a Hunter Valley
classic, made mostly from 126-year-old vines that
produce remarkably concentrated fruit. Its
earthy and intense and thanks to its firm, rie
tannins, this is one wine thats built to last.

Moss Wood Cabernet Sauvignon 1996
Cabernet lovers looking for a compelling example
of this commonly encountered varietal should
check out the expensive but profound 1996
Cabernet Sauvignon. Opaque purple in color, with
a striking bouquet of olives, cassis jam, beef
blood, minerals, earth, and new wood, this
massive, super-concentrated Cabernet Sauvignon
should prove to be a great classic from down
under. It is oozing with flavor extraction, has
high tannin, and cuts a formidable path on the
palate
16
Penfolds St Henri Shiraz 1996
I am singularly unconvinced that St Henri should
be one sixth of the price of Grange, particularly
with a classic vintage such as this. Piquantly
ripe and fragrant, it is fruit-driven from start
to finish (still matured in large, old oak vats),
with a smooth and supple fresh berry palate and
plush tannins. 95 Points, James Halliday,
Australian Wine Companion
