Rockford - Basket Press Shiraz - 2008

Ripe and balanced with a polished integration between plump, juicy flavours of blackcurrants, blackberries, raspberries and dark plums, fresh cedar/chocolate oak and dusty, drying tannins. Lifted by scents of musk and suede leather, it's briary and smoky, long and elegant with a lingering impression of fruit and meaty complexity. 94 Points/Drink 2016-2020+ - Jeremy Oliver Strong red-purple; right in the mainstream of the Rockford Basket Press style, with blackberry, plum and a hint of mocha driving the bouquet, and the smooth, supple palate; you absolutely know the wine is idling along, unused power under the bonnet; perfect balance and structure. 95 Points - James Halliday, The Wine Companion
