Description
94 Points Robert Parker Jr.
A knock-out red, the 2000 Shiraz Mt. Edelstone reveals a brooding purple color, great intensity, and tremendous power yet overall there is a sense of restraint as well as admirable purity of character. No wimpish effort, it is a layered Shiraz that builds incrementally across the palate, offering expansive blackberry, earthy, peppery notes with smoke and wood in the background. This cuvee, produced from an 86-year old vineyard in the northern sector of Eden Valley, will be even better with 2-3 more years of bottle age
