Tasting note: The black/purple-colored 2002 Shiraz Greenock emerges from a young vineyard planted on sandy, loamy soil. A tour de force in winemaking, it is a full-throttle, classic Barossa Shiraz that brings to mind some of Rockford’s single vineyard offerings. Great minerality intermixed with fabulous blackberry and cassis fruit and subtle background oak backed up by a sensational texture as well as a long, heady finish make for a spectacular wine that should age effortlessly for 10-15 years. (96pts Robert Parker)
Tasted: Oct. 2004
Score: 96
Drink: 2004-19
Tasting note: Smooth, polished style offers spicy, vanilla oak-scented berry and tar flavors, finishing with refinement. There's a wonderful open texture to this wine, but the level of oak might need decanting for an hour or two to tame it. (88pts HS, Wine Spectator)
