2004 Greenock Creek Apricot Block Shiraz - Museum Release

Opaque black dark crimson red colour with deep dark red hue. The nose is a touch more reserved than the 2004 Alices Shiraz with aromas of blackberry, liquorice, vanilla and confectionary emerging. Full bodied and gloriously rich the palate displays opulent flavours of blackberry, liquorice, vanilla, confectionary and spice. Excellent concentration and length. Super fine grained tannin structure with long aftertaste of blackberry, liquorice, confectionary and spice.
Drink over the next 3-4 years (2010-2014).
Alc 14.0%

Other Reviews….
The 2004 Shiraz “Apricot Block” was aged for 28 months in older American oak. It has an expressive bouquet of cedar, tar, pepper, violets, blueberry, and licorice. Full-bodied, smoothly-textured, layered, and rich, this intense, powerful wine should drink well for 12-15 years. 95 points
