2002 Barossa Valley Shiraz

Cool, dense nose with great roundness of texture yet real energy and life. Savoury finish. Bristling with potential. Really animated fruit, much of it from fabulous early 20th century vineyards in Ebenezer, in the northwest of Barossa Valley, flanked by vineyards that supply Grange. Yields are about half a ton an acre. This great wine was not made in 2003 or 2000. (JR)
