Greenock Creek Roennfeldt Road Shiraz 1998
Varietal: Syrah/Shiraz
Vineyard: Greenock Creek
Region: Barossa Valley, Australia
It is no accident that the vintage 1996 received a perfect 100 point score by Robert Parker. We think this vintage is just as impressive. Extremely allocated!
See notes from 1996:
"The perfect 1996 Shiraz Roennfeldt Road (15.2% alcohol) was aged three years in new American hogsheads (small foudres). This amazing achievement boasts an inky/black/purple color as well as a striking perfume of smoke, charcoal, blackberry liqueur, and a hint of toast. In the mouth, it is fabulously concentrated and tremendously pure, with layer upon layer of flavors that unfold incrementally. Mouth-staining, but not over the top, it would be hard to find a more concentrated wine anywhere in the world. Although the tannin is high, it is obscured by the wealth of fruit and glycerin. A tour de force in winemaking, it is probably worth the high cost of admission. Anticipated maturity: now-2018."
Robert Parker, The Wine Advocate 100/100
