Greenock Creek Roennfeldt Road Shiraz 1995 750mL
Product Description
A monumental effort, the 1995 Shiraz Roennfeldt Road was perfect when I tasted it in June, 2001, and this is the first time I have had it since. Made from 50-year-old vines, it is the most compelling wine I have tasted in 2009. Inky/purple-hued with notes of smoke, blueberry and blackberry liqueur, camphor, incense, and graphite, it is massive, but incredibly pure, with a multidimensional personality and a texture equivalent to a skyscraper. Yes, it’s big, but even the Euro/Francophiles at the tasting were blown away by this legend in the making. It still needs 10-15 years to reach full maturity, and is one of the most remarkable Shiraz wines made in the last 25 years. Bravo!
