3Clarendon Hills Astralis Syrah 2005
4At 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. Its only
competition comes from the likes of Guigal,
Chapoutier, Chave, Krankl, and Ringland

6Clonakilla 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

8Moss Wood Cabernet Sauvignon 1999 (MLD)
he 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.
9Clonakilla Shiraz Viognier 2004
10Clonakilla Shiraz Viognier 2004.Spotlessly clean,
lifted black cherry/blackberry and spice aromas,
together with the unmistakable tang of Viognier
silky soft tannins, very good balance and length.
(06-Oct-2005) 95 points, James Halliday.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.
11Moss 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

13Chateau Montrose 2003
The blend in 2003 was 62 Cabernet Sauvignon, 34
Merlot (a very high percentage), 3 Cabernet
Franc and 1 Petit Verdot. The wine, unlike most
2003s, has a freshness and liveliness provided by
their extraordinary terroir. This wine can be
drunk now. It has a dense bluish/purple color to
the rim and an extraordinary nose of blueberries
and mulberries, with blacker cassis and
blackberry entering the picture
