Our museum wines are kept at the BEST cellaring conditions we know of. I have taken
a digital to show you the control panel. At 12.5 deg Celsius constant, humidity
53 to 55, 24 hrs a day, 365 days a year, Grange will keep 50 years plus.
My advise for those who may compare prices over the web, make a careful check as to
the condition the wines are kept in, present and past. Having been the same owners
since 1976(26years), we know and lived with our wines, whereas other older wines
maybe bought on the secondary market for re-sale, and who knows how and where they
were stored and more importantly, under what temperature variations. Grange stored
in uncontrolled space, has a failure rate of 50% in Canberra, 75% in Brisbane.
That is an easy way to tear up good $$$$$.
You can mix single bottles from this Museum wine list with other wines your are buying
so long as the 12 bottles per case prevails.
PLEASE NOTE: We are in Australia, and prices are in Australian dollars.

BROKENWOOD 1997 Shiraz GRAVEYARD CELLARED @ 12.5C degrees....$135.00 ...
92 POINTS ROBERT PARKER
The 1997 Shiraz Graveyard Vineyard is made in an earthy, perfumed style.
Nevertheless, there is plenty to get excited about in this full-bodied,
rich, chewy wine with uncanny balance and beautiful overall purity and
equilibrium. Drink it over the next 12-15 years.

BROKENWOOD 2001 Shiraz GRAVEYARD CELLARED @ 12.5C degrees....$95.00 ...
90 POINTS ROBERT PARKER
The dense purple-colored 2001 Shiraz Graveyard, while tight and backward,
is very concentrated, pure, medium to full-bodied, and impressively endowed
with chocolate, smoke, black currant, and licorice aromas as well as
flavors. However, patience is warranted. Anticipated maturity: 2007-2014.
BROKENWOOD 2002 Shiraz GRAVEYARD CELLARED @ 12.5C degrees....$95.00 ...
90 POINTS ROBERT PARKER
The estate’s flagship offering, the 2002 Shiraz Graveyard, is a tightly-knit,
concentrated effort from a vineyard in the Hunter Valley planted on red clay
with 34-year-old vines. Its dense ruby/purple color is followed by elegant
aromas of plums, blackberries, vanilla, and briery, wild mountain fruit.
This well-built, muscular Shiraz should hit its plateau of maturity in
2-3 years, and last for 12-15.
BROKENWOOD 2003 Shiraz GRAVEYARD CELLARED @ 12.5C degrees....$95.00 ...
91 POINTS ROBERT PARKER
The 2003 Shiraz Graveyard is richer, fuller, and more complete than its
older sibling. Aged in 80% French and 20% American oak, it exhibits a dense
purple color as well as a sweet perfume of black currants, cassis, loamy soil,
licorice, and dried herbs. Spicy, long, and rich, with an open-knit
texture, it can be drunk now or cellared for 10-12 years.
BROKENWOOD 2002 Shiraz RAYNER CELLARED @ 12.5C degrees....$60.00 ...
90 POINTS ROBERT PARKER
The 2002 Shiraz Rayner was aged in 80% American and 20% French oak
(new and one-year-old). It is a streamlined, tightly-knit, ruby/purple-hued
effort displaying notes of blackberries, charcoal, dried herbs, sweet
cherries, and hints of figs and vanillin. More opulent in the mouth
than its bouquet suggests, it offers attractive, well-defined flavors
in a medium to full-bodied, moderately tannic style. It should age nicely
for 7-8 years.

88 POINTS ROBERT PARKER
A thick, viscous, dense ruby/purple-colored offering, Chapel Hill's 1998
The Vicar exhibits abundant quantities of new oak (primarily American),
loads of blackberry and cassis flavors, and a rich, concentrated,
blockbuster finish. A blend of 56% Shiraz and 44% Cabernet Sauvignon,
this rich, moderately tannic 1998 is best drunk between 2002-2014.
CHARLES CIMICKY 1996 Shiraz Signature CELLARED @ 12.5C degrees....$45.00 ...
AND THE 1996 WAS A BETTER YEAR THAN 1995
This impressive 1995 Shiraz boasts a saturated dense plum color, oaky,
blackberry, peppery aromas, thick, concentrated, full-bodied flavors,
outstanding purity, and a long, chewy, oaky finish. A potentially
outstanding offering, the wine is accessible, but will be even better
after 2-4 years of cellaring; it will keep for 15 years. 90 PTS PARKER REVIEW OF THE 1995
CHARLES MELTON 1996 Cabernet Sauvignon CELLARED @ 12.5C degrees....$65.00 ...
92 POINTS ROBERT PARKER
The 1996 Cabernet Sauvignon is considered to be the Barossa Valley's
finest vintage during this golden decade, 1996's reputation appears to
be confirmed by this wine's extraordinary richness and depth. Aged in
French oak for 15 months, and eclipsing 15% natural alcohol, this is
a full-bodied, massive Cabernet with beautifully integrated wood,
acidity, and tannin. Gorgeous aromas of Provencal herbs intermixed
with black currant jam, fruitcake, cigar box, and cedar are terrific.
The wine possesses fabulous depth, considerably viscosity, and a
40+ second finish. Already accessible, it promises to evolve for 10-15 years.
CHARLES MELTON 1998 Cabernet Sauvignon CELLARED @ 12.5C degrees....$55.00 ...
88 POINTS ROBERT PARKER
The dark ruby/purple-colored 1998 Cabernet Sauvignon offers minty, black
currant flavors. Medium to full-bodied and firm, with moderate tannin,
sweet fruit, and a structured, tight finish, it requires 2-3 years of
cellaring, and should drink well for 10-12 years.
CHARLES MELTON 1996 Grenache CELLARED @ 12.5C degrees....$45.00 ...
90 POINTS ROBERT PARKER
The dense ruby-coloured 1998 Grenache exhibits a sweet nose of
kirsch liqueur, pepper, spice, and earth. Full-bodied, fleshy,
and rich, with sweet fruit and copious glycerin, this southern
Rhone-like offering can be drunk now and over the next 7-8 years.
CHARLES MELTON 1997 Nine Popes CELLARED @ 12.5C degrees....$59.00 ...
92 POINTS ROBERT PARKER
The gorgeous 1997 Nine Popes (a blend of old vine Grenache, Syrah,
and Mourvedre) offers aromas of kirsch, cherry jam, raspberries,
roasted peanuts, and herbs, terrific fruit intensity, full body,
copious glycerin, and a mid-palate that suggests low yields and
old vines (80-100 year old Grenache vines). Beautifully made and
fun to drink, this is Australia's version of Chateauneuf du Pape.
Drink it over the next decade.
CHARLES MELTON 1997 Nine Popes MAGNUM CELLARED @ 12.5C degrees....$130.00 ...
92 POINTS ROBERT PARKER

Drink it over the next decade.
CHARLES MELTON 1998 Nine Popes CELLARED @ 12.5C degrees....$70.00 ...
89 POINTS ROBERT PARKER
A Chateauneuf du Pape look-alike, the 1998 Nine Popes (a blend of Grenache,
Shiraz, and Mourvedre) boasts a saturated ruby/purple color in addition
to abundant quantities of peppery kirsch and earthy notes, and medium
to full body, which provide a large, dense, chewy palate impact.
Drink it over the next 4-5 years.
CHARLES MELTON 1997 Shiraz CELLARED @ 12.5C degrees....$65.00 ...
88 POINTS ROBERT PARKER
The 1997 Shiraz seemed civilized and restrained. It possesses a
dense dark ruby color with purple nuances. Notes of black fruits
(particularly berries) emerge from the moderately intense bouquet.
Not a blockbuster in the style of many Barossa Valley Shiraz, this
is an elegant, well-balanced, concentrated wine exhibiting excellent
purity, ripeness, and character. More aromatics will emerge with bottle
age. Anticipated maturity: now-2008.

94 POINTS ROBERT PARKER
A wine of extraordinary aromatic complexity and finesse, this sweet effort
possesses a dark ruby color with a pink rim. Once past the gloriously
complex aromatics (blueberries, black currants, minerals, and underbrush),
the wine reveals terrific fruit intensity, excellent harmony, medium body,
sweet tannin, and a long finish. This superb, elegant 1982 has achieved
full maturity, but it promises to last for another 15+ years.

CLONAKILLA 2003 Viognier Canberra District CELLARED @ 12.5C degrees....$50.00 ...
It is rare to find a complex New World Viognier, but Clonakilla's 2004
is a light to medium-bodied, fresh effort with steely litchi nut and
peach-like scents. A terroir-based Viognier with loads of acidity as
well as freshness, it should be consumed over the next 1-2 years.
Distinctive, singularly-styled wines displaying abundant minerality
along with striking aromatics, and nicely delineated, powerful but
elegant flavours are the rule of thumb at this winery.
CLONAKILLA SHIRAZ VIOGNIER SOME PARKER REVIEWS
1998 92 POINTS ROBERT PARKER
Three hundred cases of this sexy, ostentatious wine made from 95%
Shiraz and 5% Viognier were produced. With a dark ruby/purple color,
full body, and an explosive bouquet of black fruits and Viognier's
apricot/peach component, this dense, structured, pure, concentrated
wine is reminiscent of a French Cote Rotie as well as the Australian
Shiraz/Viognier blend made by the Torbreck winery.
Drink it over the next decade.
1999 90 POINTS ROBERT PARKER
Elegant as well as complex and fragrant is the 1999 Shiraz/Viognier.
Only 5% Viognier is in the blend, but it is apparent in the aromatics,
which offer up telltale blackberry and cassis, but also a touch of apricot
and white flowers. The wine is medium to full-bodied, with supple texture,
silky tannin, and a fleshy, moderately weighty feel. Already delicious,
it is best drunk over the next 4-5 years.
2000 87 POINTS ROBERT PARKER
Remarkably, the 2000 Shiraz/Viognier (94% of the former and 6% of the latter)
is a dark ruby-colored, smoky effort with medium to full body, but a lean,
hard finish. While it is a more ambitious example, with more noticeable
oak than the Hilltops, the latter effort possesses more charm and character.
The 2000 Shiraz/Viognier should drink well for 10+ years
2004 92 POINTS ROBERT PARKER
Sexy, exotic, and open-knit with a savory, expansive mouthfeel is the
Burgundian-like 2004 Shiraz/Viognier. Soft, supple, and seductive,
it reveals honeyed notes in the nose along with blackberry, cassis,
and floral characteristics. This finesse-filled, hedonistically as
well as intellectually satisfying Australian red should be drunk
over the next 5-6 years. Distinctive, singularly-styled wines displaying
abundant minerality along with striking aromatics, and nicely delineated,
powerful but elegant flavors are the rule of thumb at this winery.

blackberry liqueur, pepper, graphite, and licorice. Ripe, full-bodied, and

87 POINTS ROBERT PARKER
This wine's low-keyed, restrained aromatics and flavors may prove more exciting
to some readers. This wine exhibits an elegant, austere personality, with
moderate quantities of black currant fruit. It is made in a restrained,
austere, Bordeaux-like style. Some sweet oak is present (about 80% new oak
casks are used), and the wine suggests longevity, although I am not sure
the requisite concentration is present for aging beyond 10-12 years.
This is a well-made, unflashy, polite offering.
CULLEN 1998 Cabernet Merlot MARGARET RIVER CELLARED @ 12.5C degrees....$135.00 ...
87 POINTS ROBERT PARKER
The 1998 Cabernet Sauvignon/Merlot (60% Cabernet Sauvignon, 25% Merlot, and
15% Cabernet Franc) is a fat, fleshy, tannic, substantial effort. Youthful,
with notes of red and black currants, dried herbs, tobacco, and subtle wood,
this medium-bodied, elegant 1998 possesses good underlying acidity. It
should drink well for 7-8 years.

The 2000 Shiraz may be the finest Shiraz yet tasted from Dalwhinnie.
Unlike South Australia, 2000 was a great vintage in the Pyrenees, and
this offering possesses terrific flavour purity, wonderful density,
elegance combined with power, and notes of bacon fat interwoven with
creme de cassis, blackberries, licorice, and minerals. The finish is
exceptionally pure and persistent. Anticipated maturity: now-2012.

D'ARENBERG
Chester Osborn, the remarkable person behind this enormous array of both impeccably
high quality and value-priced wines, deserves considerable accolades for what he is
able to achieve at all price ranges. If you love Australian wines, d’Arenberg is a
winery to seek out as these offerings all possess abundant soul as well as character.
In short, the accolades that proprietor/winemaker Chester Osborn receives not only
from The Wine Advocate, but virtually everybody in the wine world, are all well
deserved. ROBERT PARKER
D'ARENBERG 2000 Cabernet COPPERMINE ROAD CELLARED @ 12.5C degrees ....$60.00 ...
90 POINTS ROBERT PARKER
One of the finest Cabernet Sauvignons produced in South Australia is d’Arenberg’s
Coppermine Road. Boasting a deep purple color as well as structured flavours of
cassis, earth, saddle leather, spice box, and tobacco leaf, the ripe, medium to
full-bodied, fleshy 2000 The Coppermine Road Cabernet Sauvignon possesses a
slightly tannic finish. Give it 1-3 years of cellaring, and drink it over the
following 12-15.
D'ARENBERG 2001 Cabernet COPPERMINE ROAD CELLARED @ 12.5C degrees ....$60.00 ...
93 POINTS ROBERT PARKER
One of the finest Cabernet Sauvignons produced in South Australia is d’Arenberg’s
Coppermine Road. The colossal 2001 The Coppermine Road Cabernet Sauvignon exhibits
an opaque purple color in addition to a gorgeous perfume of lead pencil shavings
intermixed with blackberry and cassis fruit, vanilla, Asian spices, and white
flowers. Still primary and young, with great intensity as well as tremendous upside
potential, it requires 5-6 more years of aging, after which it will last for two
decades.
D'ARENBERG 2002 Cabernet COPPERMINE ROAD CELLARED @ 12.5C degrees ....$65.00 ...
93 POINTS ROBERT PARKER
The 2002 The Coppermine Road Cabernet Sauvignon possesses a sweet perfume of
roasted herbs, black currants, blackberries, lead pencil shavings, and background
oak. Full-bodied and structured, it is just a notch below the quality of the 2003.
Drink it over the next 12+ years.
This is the best Coppermine we’ve made. This wine has a deep dark vibrant colour. The nose shows intense blackcurrant
and cranberry fruit, and subtle cedary cinnamon spice, barrel-ferment and oak derived aromas, violet and mint scents,
as well as liquorice and chocolate smells.

D'ARENBERG 1998 Shiraz DEAD ARM CELLARED @ 12.5C degrees....$135.00 ...
96 POINTS ROBERT PARKER
The 1998 The Dead Arm Shiraz (from a vineyard planted prior to 1890) is outrageously
rich, spectacular stuff, the likes of which only Australia seems capable of making.
Whiners may complain that it is too big, too rich, too flavourful, and too damn good,
but this opaque purple-coloured offering is loaded with blackberry liqueur, smoke,
charcoal, pepper, cassis, and licorice. Unctuously-textured and full-bodied, but
neither heavy nor overbearing, the wine's sweet tannin and low acidity are hidden
in the cascade of fruit and glycerine that melt on the palate. This riveting,
compelling effort can be drunk now, but promises to age well for two decades or more.
D'ARENBERG 2002 Shiraz DEAD ARM CELLARED @ 12.5C degrees ....$69.50 ...
93 POINTS ROBERT PARKER
After re-tasting the 2002 The Dead Arm Shiraz, I believe my initial rating is
correct. It still plays it close to the vest, exhibiting loads of cassis, asphalt,
smoke, and barbecue spice-like aromas along with full-bodied flavors. While
well-made and impressive, it remains backward and restrained, and does not appear
to be up to the quality of either the 2003 or the great 2001.
D'ARENBERG 2003 Shiraz DEAD ARM CELLARED @ 12.5C degrees ....$65.00 ...
95 POINTS ROBERT PARKER
One of this estate’s flagship wines, the 2003 The Dead Arm Shiraz appears to be
better than the 2002. A deeper, richer, fuller-bodied offering that spent time
in equal parts French and American oak, it possesses an opaque purple color,
great intensity, and a fabulously sweet nose of blackberries, cassis, asphalt,
earth, and oak. Powerful, super-concentrated, and obviously fashioned from low
yields and old vines, this is a classic McLaren Vale old vine Shiraz that should
age nicely for 15+ years

D'ARENBERG 1998 Shiraz FOOTBOLT CELLARED @ 12.5C degrees....$40.00 ...
90 POINTS ROBERT PARKER
The dense, full-bodied, muscular and concentrated 1998 The Footbolt Shiraz has a
lots of tannin in addition to a less evolved personality. Drink the 1998 between
2002-2012. This is a terrific bargain.
D'ARENBERG 2002 Shiraz Viognier LAUGHING MAGPIE MAGNUM CELLARED @ 12.5C degrees ....$79.00...
93 POINTS ROBERT PARKER
The 2002 The Laughing Magpie Shiraz/Viognier (93% of the former and 7% of the latter)
is the La Mouline of McLaren Vale. An exotic, heady, flamboyantly-styled red, it
boasts an inky/purple color as well as a gorgeous nose of lychee nuts, acacia flowers,
blackberries, and creme de cassis. Supple-textured and opulent, with pepper, licorice,
and blackberry liqueur-like flavours, this beautiful wine is made in a modern,
progressive style with terrific fruit intensity along with notions of sweet French
oak in the background. It should drink well for 10-12 years.
D'ARENBERG 2003 Shiraz Viognier LAUGHING MAGPIE MAGNUM CELLARED @ 12.5C degrees ....$79.00...
90 POINTS ROBERT PARKER
Not quite as successful as the brilliant 2001 and 2002, but still outstanding, the
2003 The Laughing Magpie Shiraz/Viognier (94% of the former and 6% of the latter)
is not as powerful or rich as its two older siblings. Nevertheless, it is an
impressive red offering an exotic nose of lychee nuts, honeysuckle, apricot
marmalade, blackberries, and cassis. Expressive, full-bodied, and soft, but more
superficial than usual, it is a flamboyant effort to drink over the next 5-7 years.

ELDERTON 1999 Cabernet Sauvignon ASHMEAD CELLARED @ 12.5C degrees....$70.00 ...
93 POINTS ROBERT PARKER
The 100% Cabernet Sauvignon from a single vineyard, the 1999 Cabernet Sauvignon
Ashmead (produced from 78-year old vines) is great stuff. Its saturated purple
color is accompanied by scents of toasty new oak intermixed with black cherry
liqueur, creme de cassis, creosote, and vanilla. This voluptuous, layered,
opulent Cabernet is a full-throttle, Australian version of a French Pomerol.
The finish lasts for 50+ seconds. Still primary/youthful, with tremendous upside
potential, it can be drunk now, but should be even better in 4-5 years. It will
last for 12-15 years, possibly longer
ELDERTON 2000 Cabernet Sauvignon ASHMEAD CELLARED @ 12.5C degrees ....$75.00 ...
88 POINTS ROBERT PARKER
The wood component was slightly excessive in the 2000 Cabernet Sauvignon Ashmead.
Elderton has gotten better over recent years in integrating the wood into their
reds, so it was surprising that this wine was dominated by creamy, vanilla
milkshake-like flavours that nearly concealed its black currant fruit. With medium
to full body, moderate tannin, and a chunky/chubby character, it should age nicely
for 7-8 years.

ELDERTON 1998 COMMAND Shiraz CELLARED @ 12.5C degrees....$100.00 ...
94 POINTS ROBERT PARKER
A spectacular offering, the 1998 Command Shiraz (which spent 3 years in French and
American oak) is the type of wine that is impossible to duplicate outside of selected
Barossa and McLaren Vale vineyard sites. An opaque purple color is followed by
spectacular aromas of toasty oak, camphor, blackberry liqueur, and asphalt. It is
humongous in the mouth, decadently rich, and luxuriously fruited, with a viscous
texture as well as a 40-second finish. Low acidity and ripe tannin add to the
succulent impression. Still youthful, it requires another 2-3 years of cellaring;
it should age effortlessly for 15-16+ years.
ELDERTON 2000 COMMAND Shiraz CELLARED @ 12.5C degrees....$95.00 ...
92 POINTS ROBERT PARKER
The classic 2000 Command Shiraz (aged nearly three years in new oak) possesses an
opaque purple color as well as aromas of melted licorice, new saddle leather, roasted
meats, truffles, black currants, and blackberries. Full-bodied and chewy, with supple
tannin and a blockbuster finish, it will drink well for 10-12 years.
ELDERTON 2001 COMMAND Shiraz CELLARED @ 12.5C degrees....$90.00 ...
95 POINTS ROBERT PARKER
The 2001 Shiraz Command exhibits a slightly more roasted character than the 2002
as well as a hint of espresso in the nose, a touch more alcohol, and more elevated
tannin. It also possesses tremendous concentration, intensity, and power, yet
remains remarkably well-balanced and pure. This 3,000-case cuvee is one of South
Australia’s great classics. It should drink well for 15 years.

GREENOCK CREEK
Introduction from Robert Parker's The Wine Advocate Issue 155 2004
"The South Australian superstar winery is owned by Michael and Annabelle Waugh,
both unassuming, humble people who are trying to produce the finest wines
possible from absurdly low yields of their dry-farmed vineyard. The consulting
winemaker is the renowned Chris Ringland of Three Rivers. While there is a
tendency to think these are over the top, big wines, they are hand-crafted,
distinctive efforts that possess extraordinary definition, soul, and personality.
The Waugh's pay meticulous attention to every detail in the vineyard as well as
the wines upbringing. Everything is destemmed, fermented in open-top masonary
fermenters, the young must pushed through an old basket press, and the wine is
aged in a combination of new and neutral French and American hogsheads (small foudres).
What one gets from Greenock Creek is the uncompromised brilliance of Mother Nature
as expressed in their Barossa vineyards."
......AND WHAT AN HISTORIC SCORECARD
PLEASE NOTE ALL GREENOCK CREEK WINES ARE IN VERY LIMITED QUANTITIES AND CAN BE PURCHASED BY
SINGLE BOTTLES AS PART OF A MIXED DOZEN OF OTHER BRANDS.
GREENOCK CREEK 2000 Cabernet Sauvignon CELLARED @ 12.5C degrees....$70.00 ...
86 POINTS ROBERT PARKER
The 2000 Cabernet Sauvignon, although made from frightfully low yields
of .67 tons of fruit per acre, is more monolithic and less juicy/succulent
than previous examples. A dark ruby/purple color is accompanied by a closed,
monolithic (at least when I tasted it) Cabernet with plenty of depth as well
as austere tannin in the short finish. Nevertheless, it is a competent, but
expensive effort.
GREENOCK CREEK 2001 Cabernet Sauvignon CELLARED @ 12.5C degrees....$75.00 ...
93 POINTS ROBERT PARKER
The 2001 Cabernet Sauvignon, fashioned from 15-year-old vines that
yielded one ton of fruit per acre, reveals classic, intense aromas of
creme de cassis intermixed with loamy soil, new saddle leather, and
vanilla notes. Aged in neutral French oak for 26 months, this beauty
is one of the finest Cabernets Greenock Creek has recently made.
GREENOCK CREEK 2002 Cabernet Sauvignon CELLARED @ 12.5C degrees....$65.00 ...
92 POINTS ROBERT PARKER
Produced from 15-year-old vines, the elegant, still primary and grapy
2002 Cabernet Sauvignon reveals notes of black currants, cassis, liquid
minerals, and subtle wood in its rich, intense, medium to full-bodied
personality. It should hit its prime in 2-3 years, and last for 10-15.
GREENOCK CREEK 2003 Cabernet Sauvignon CELLARED @ 12.5C degrees....$70.00 ...
A sleeper offering is the 2003 Cabernet, an old French oak-aged 100%
Cabernet Sauvignon. I have been drinking up my stash of the 1997, and it
remains very young at ten years of age. Made from 15-year-old vines with
yields of 1.5 tons of fruit per acre, it offers beautiful sweet black
currant fruit interwoven with notions of cherries, road tar, cedar, and
spice box. It would be interesting to insert this classic, top-flight
Cabernet Sauvignon in a blind tasting of the finest Bordeaux. A beautiful
full-bodied texture and sweet tannin suggest it will keep for 10-15 years.
GREENOCK CREEK 2004 Cabernet Sauvignon CELLARED @ 12.5C degrees....$55.00 ...

GREENOCK CREEK 1998 Cabernet ROENNFELDT CELLARED @ 12.5C degrees....$950.00 ...
100 POINTS ROBERT PARKER
Since availability is extremely restricted, I’ll keep my notes brief for
the limited production (approximately 60 cases), perfect 1998 Cabernet Sauvignon
Roennfeldt Road. It is a 100% Cabernet Sauvignon made from a 60-year-old
vineyard that spent three years in neutral French oak. The wine possesses
the concentration of the greatest classics ever produced in such Bordeaux vintages
as 1945, 1947, 1959, 1961, and 1982. This is a full-bodied red with a finish
that lasts well over 60 seconds. For its size and concentration, it is,
surprisingly, not heavy, just super-endowed. The Cabernet Sauvignon needs
2-3 more years of cellaring, and should drink well for two decades.
Unfortunately, quantities are extremely limited for this spectacular,
world-class Australian red.

GREENOCK CREEK 2003 Grenache CORNERSTONE CELLARED @ 12.5C degrees....$50.00 ...
Always one of the finest Grenaches made in Australia, the 2003 Grenache Cornerstone
(from vines averaging 64 years of age) exhibits a dark ruby/plum color as well as
a big, rich bouquet of raspberries, candied cherries, licorice, herbs, and pepper.
Medium to full-bodied and voluptuous, it is ideal for drinking over the next
5-7 years
GREENOCK CREEK 2004 Grenache CORNERSTONE CELLARED @ 12.5C degrees....$45.00 ...
91 POINTS ROBERT PARKER
From 60-year-old vines, the 2004 Grenache Cornerstone (which was aged in
old French wood) reveals plenty of power and potency (16% alcohol), yet comes
across as elegant, restrained, and almost feminine. Its deep ruby color is
followed by a sweet perfume of black cherries, loamy soils, crushed pepper,
and a southern Rhone Valley floral-like character. With superb purity, texture,
and definition, this full-bodied yet light on its feet beauty can be enjoyed
over the next 5-7 years.

GREENOCK CREEK 2000 Shiraz ALICES CELLARED @ 12.5C degrees....$95.00 ...
90 POINTS ROBERT PARKER
Fashioned from low yields of 1.27 tons of fruit per acre, the 2000 Shiraz
Alice’s is 100% Shiraz aged in American oak for 28 months prior to being
bottled unfiltered. A strong effort for the vintage, it exhibits a deep
ruby/purple color in addition to a sweet nose of blackberries, pepper, and
licorice, medium body, and a fine finish. Enjoy it during its first 7-8 years of life.
GREENOCK CREEK 2002 Shiraz ALICES CELLARED @ 12.5C degrees....$75.00 ...
96 POINTS ROBERT PARKER
Flamboyant as well as focused, with laser-like precision, the 2002 Shiraz Alice’s
was produced from 7-year-old vines. Dense, with remarkable intensity and wonderful
freshness, it is a cool climate Barossa Shiraz with good acidity, enormous
concentration, and a backward style that promises to be ethereal with 4-5 more
years of bottle age. It should last for two decades or more.
GREENOCK CREEK 2003 Shiraz ALICES CELLARED @ 12.5C degrees....$90.00 ...
97 POINTS ROBERT PARKER
There are 1,500 cases of the 2003 Shiraz Alices (from 9-year-old vines),
a wine of great nobility, purity, texture, and layers of flavour. While
it possesses phenomenal power as well as richness, it carries itself
with extraordinary elegance and finesse. The whopping 16.5% alcohol
is beautifully incorporated into this massive, but impeccably well-balanced
Shiraz. Drink it over the next 12-15 years. ROBERT PARKER 97 POINTS

GREENOCK CREEK 2002 Shiraz APRICOT BLOCK CELLARED @ 12.5C degrees....$95.00 ...
96 POINTS ROBERT PARKER
The prodigious 2002 Shiraz Apricot Block (only 10-year-old vines) was produced
from fruit cropped at 1.5 tons per acre. Its big, peppery, floral, blueberry,
blackberry, pen ink, and vanillin-scented bouquet is followed by a wine with a
nervous energy that is totally in keeping with the cool 2002 vintage. Dense,
with great purity of fruit, a fabulously multi-layered, full-bodied palate, and
an inky finish with enormous concentration, sweet tannin, and superb overall balance,
this young, unevolved Shiraz should begin to strut its stuff in 3-4 years, and last
for two decades.
GREENOCK CREEK 2003 Shiraz APRICOT BLOCK CELLARED @ 12.5C degrees....$95.00 ...
95 POINTS ROBERT PARKER
The 2003 Shiraz Apricot Block (fashioned from 11-year-old vines and also aged
28 months in American oak) offers rich aromas of creme de cassis, blackberries,
asphalt, pepper, and licorice. This full-bodied, rich, intense,
powerful (16.5% alcohol) cuvee is a classic, structured, clean, pure
red that should drink well for 12-15+ years.

GREENOCK CREEK 2001 Shiraz CREEK BLOCK CELLARED @ 12.5C degrees....$475.00 ...
100 POINTS ROBERT PARKER
A perfect wine, the magnificent 2001 Shiraz Creek Block (240 cases) exhibits
notes of burning embers, melted road tar, truffles, blackberries, and creme de cassis.
With huge glycerine and a full-bodied, sensational finish, it represents the
essence of wine.
GREENOCK CREEK 2002 Shiraz CREEK BLOCK CELLARED @ 12.5C degrees....$230.00 ...
96 POINTS ROBERT PARKER
The 1996 Shiraz Creek Block exhibits a dense purple color, and a spectacular
nose of roasted coffee intermixed with cassis, blackberries, licorice, and spice.
The wine displays amazing ripeness, an unctuous texture, full-bodied palate, and
a finish that lasts for 45+ seconds. Its high alcohol and tannin are nearly concealed
by the wine's amazing concentration. There are 100 cases of the Creek Block.
The wine is made from 60-year old Shiraz, having 15.8% alcohol. Anticipated maturity:
2000-2020. Although few readers will have a chance to try this wine, its name is
worth knowing as it is among the world's finest Shiraz. Anticipated maturity:
2002-2025.
GREENOCK CREEK 2003 Shiraz CREEK BLOCK CELLARED @ 12.5C degrees....$475.00 ...
100 POINTS ROBERT PARKER
Pure perfection, the 2003 Shiraz Creek Block was fashioned from a 65-year-old
vineyard that yielded one ton of fruit per acre. This full-bodied, multifaceted
effort reveals tremendous notes of bacon fat interwoven with black raspberries,
blackberries, cassis, pen ink, graphite, incense, and acacia flowers.
The finish lasts well past a minute. Although not the most powerful
Shiraz (15.5% alcohol), to my mind it is the best of this portfolio, and
is superior to the limited production, super-duper expensive Roennfeldt cuvees.

GREENOCK CREEK 1997 Shiraz ROENNFELDT ROAD CELLARED @ 12.5C degrees....$385.00 ...
98 POINTS ROBERT PARKER
The nearly perfect 1997 Shiraz Roennfeldt Road boasts a dense opaque purple color
in addition to celestial aromas of blackberry liqueur, melted road tar, truffles,
and earth. It is full-bodied, with massive layers of fruit and glycerine that
cascade over the palate in a seamless, beautifully balanced fashion, and a 55-second
finish. This enormous wine is fabulously young with its entire future ahead of it.
It should hit its peak in 3-4 years, and last for two decades.
GREENOCK CREEK 1998 Shiraz ROENNFELDT ROAD CELLARED @ 12.5C degrees....$525.00 ...
100 POINTS ROBERT PARKER
The 1998 Shiraz Roennfeldt Road (235 cases) is made from yields of .75-1 ton of
fruit per acre. The wine possesses the concentration of the greatest classics
ever produced in such Bordeaux vintages as 1945, 1947, 1959, 1961, and 1982.
This is a full-bodied red with a finish that lasts well over 60 seconds. For
its size and concentration, it is, surprisingly, not heavy, just super-endowed.
The Shiraz is accessible, but still primary. Unfortunately, quantities are
extremely limited for this spectacular, world-class Australian red.
GREENOCK CREEK 1999 Shiraz ROENNFELDT ROAD CELLARED @ 12.5C degrees....$390.00 ...
98 POINTS ROBERT PARKER
There are 236 cases of the 1999 Shiraz Roennfeldt Road (also from 65-year-old vines).
Although it pushes ripeness to the limit, it does not reveal any raisiny/pruny
characteristics. It offers wonderful freshness, good acidity, superb intensity,
and copious quantities of blackberry, cassis, crushed rock, floral, and spicy new
oak notes. Massive and concentrated with perfect equilibrium, it can be drunk now
and over the next 25 years. Kudos to one of the world’s finest wine producers!
If I had to select the number one Australian winery, it would be hard not to choose
the Greenock Creek Winery, run by the humble, shy Michael and Annabelle Waugh.
The quality that emerges from this estate is extraordinary. In short, these are
thrilling, world-class wines that are about as compelling as wine can be.

The 2002 Shiraz Seven Acre (from 15-year-old vines) is a structured, concentrated,
intense effort with inky, blueberry, and blackberry fruit intermixed with camphor
and loamy soil notes, fabulous length, and a full-throttle finish that lasts over
45 seconds. Give it 2-3 years of bottle age, and drink it over the following
15+ years.
GREENOCK CREEK 2003 Shiraz SEVEN ACRE CELLARED @ 12.5C degrees....$120.00 ...
98 POINTS ROBERT PARKER
From 16-year-old vines, the inky/purple-tinged 2003 Shiraz Seven Acres was
aged 28 months in American wood, but it has soaked up all its vanillin
characteristics, exhibiting a beautifully sweet nose of blueberries,
blackberries, tar, and crushed rocks. Dense, full-bodied, and opulent,
this stunning Shiraz is a candidate for “Shiraz of the Vintage” in 2003.

Grenache and Astralis from Clarendon Hills, no Australian wines are
richer than these offerings from Henschke - a winery that gets my
nod as one of Australia's two or three finest producers. Each of
these wines coats the mouth with glorious levels of jammy fruit,
extract, glycerin, and silky tannin. They are all dense ruby/purple-coloured,
full-bodied, and capable of lasting at least a decade, and in the case
of the 1991 Shiraz Hill of Grace, possibly 20+ years.
The 1991 Shiraz Hill of Grace Keyneton Vineyard is the most backward
of the Henschke wines, with an earthy minerality, and explosive black
fruits the likes of which are often seen in northern Rhone Valley wines
made from ancient vines. This huge, broodingly backward, muscular, brawny,
immensely concentrated yet formidably endowed wine requires another
4-5 years of cellaring; it should keep for 15-20 years. These are awesome
examples of what Australia is capable of producing.

The opaque ruby/purple-coloured 1995 Shiraz Hill of Grace (along with
Penfolds' Grange, one of the most famous Shiraz of Australia) boasts
abundant quantities of toasty American oak, fat, blackberry, tar-infused
fruit flavors, a deep, unctuous texture, and a powerful, concentrated,
long finish. This renowned Shiraz is indeed all it should be for its
lofty price tag. It should drink well for 15-20 years.

REVIEWED OCTOBER 2005.: Nose revealed leather and spice, deep and rich with the
colour a dense brick red. The palate was dark chocolate with rich berries and
firm tannins and fresh acid still very evident. Will age still further and
lingering length. Superb drinking to the last drop of the bottle. We were
extremely pleased this wine has been cellared at 12.5 deg C, and the cork as
you can see has NIL staining and full bottle.
VERY HIGHLY RECOMMENDED at 11 years of age.

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; it will last
for 12-15 years

REVIEWED OCTOBER 2005: Another example of a great wine kept at the best cellaring possible.
We enjoyed this wine with two of our favourite people at one of Canberra's top restaurants.
Even the restaurateur was asked to participate. The most common word used was "smooth" and
from one, "the smoothest wine he had ever drunk". The wine is now 14 years old and has
developed magnificent aged characters and in sheer balance. We all drooled over every
controlled sip. Aged berry bouquet, chocolate and berry velvet palate, fresh and alive
with ever lingering mouthfilling moreish flavours you never wanted to cease. We all agreed
it was an experience many would never ever know. Aged wines are a life filling experience
one can cherish forever. Moreishness 6/6.

fuller bodied releases of this label we have seen. Fruit flavours are
dominated by cassis, chocolate and capsicum - harmonious and balanced.

91 POINTS ROBERT PARKER
Simultaneously concentrated, focused and wonderfully opulent in its
overt strength of deep fruit mirrored by substantial oak, the wine
simply reeks of squashed ripe berries, mint and creamy, slightly
varnishy oak. Massively proportioned, the palate is a powerful mix of
mouthfilling black fruits, chocolate oak and enormous, balanced tannins.
A definitive Australian red. (19.4, Drink 2010+) 97/100 Jeremy Oliver, On Wine

Winemaker Comments: Phillip John; Deep red with purple tinges. Intense
lifted berry fruit integrated with new oak. Full flavoured sweet fruit
with wood overtones balanced with soft tannins producing a complex wine.

PENFOLDS 1999 Shiraz RWT Barossa Valley CELLARED @ 12.5C degrees....$165.00 ...
RWT Shiraz was launched in May 2000 with the 1997 vintage. Its style is opulent &
rich, contrasting with GRANGE, which is more muscular. RWT is made from fruit selected
for its aromatic qualities & fine texture rather than sheer intensity or power of
flavour. The result is a wine that helps to define Barossa Shiraz at the highest
quality level.
87 POINTS ROBERT PARKER
The elegantly-styled, restrained 1999 Shiraz RWT is an elegant example
of a Barossa Shiraz. Its dense ruby/purple color is followed by a medium-bodied
wine offering up floral, raspberry, cherry, and currant aromas nicely dosed
with subtle wood. Enjoy this pure, refreshing 1999 over the next decade.

90 POINTS ROBERT PARKER
The pure, clean, lush 2000 Shiraz RWT’s aromas of black fruits, tar, and
creosote are followed by a full-bodied, accessible Shiraz with a long finish. |
Drink it over the next 7-8 years.
PENFOLDS 2001 Shiraz RWT CELLARED @ 12.5C degrees....$135.00 ...
87 POINTS ROBERT PARKER
The 2001 Shiraz RWT reveals an attractive dense ruby/purple-tinged
color as well as an earthy, plum, cherry, and peppery-scented bouquet,
medium to full body, and slightly intrusive acidity. The fruit and weight
are such that the acidity is only a minor annoyance as opposed to dominating
the wine’s character and compressing its texture. While acceptable, it
could have been a lot better. Drink it over the next 4-5 years.
PENFOLDS 2002 Shiraz RWT CELLARED @ 12.5C degrees....$135.00 ...
93 POINTS ROBERT PARKER
The outstanding 2002 Shiraz RWT is a 100% Shiraz, single region
(Barossa) offering that typically spends 14 months in a combination
of two-thirds new and one-third old French oak. Expansive and rich
with a broad texture, and a complex nose of white chocolate, raspberries,
black cherries, and licorice, this spicy, rich, medium-bodied, elegant
2002 should drink well for 10-12 years.

REVIEWED OCTOBER 2005. Cork had almost nil staining - 1/8 to 1/4 inch, great.
Distinctive berry , spice, white pepper and one would expect a class wine to follow.
Lovely sweet wood, very youthful, robust but well balanced with extreme good length,
definitive white pepper finish which lingered sip by sip over a long evening.
Not many consumers get the chance to experience superbly aged reds.
When you taste a well cellared wine, you would not be paying $30 for current release.

at 12.5 degrees C. and 55% humidity, and is in pristine condition.
The full and complex palate had ripe Shiraz flavours, integrated oak tannins
and a well balanced finish when initially tasted, vanillin oak complexity and
a fine backbone of tannin was coupled with soft, mouthfilling fruit flavour,
to provide a long, lingering finish. In 2000, this wine, a preferred Vintage,
displayed a powerfully concentrated palate with dark berry/aniseed flavours and
velvet textured tannins.

The palate is voluptuously rich with layers of intense, ripe Chardonnay flav-
ours. Quince, fig & cantaloupe nuances coat the tongue & are complexed by
spicy, cinnamon-like oak. A vibrant back-bone of acidity is a feature of the
wine, helping to balance the rich fruit flavours & ensuring further bottle dev-
elopment. The aftertaste of ripe Chardonnay fruit lingers on & on. A Chardon-
nay destined for greatness.

GOLD HOBART WINE SHOW
Complex & tightly structured, the flavoursome palate displays elegant lemon

malty, biscuit-like flavour produced by maturation on yeast lees. Displaying
rich viscosity & mineral acid, the wine finishes clean & soft with excellent length.
PENFOLDS 1999 YATTARNA Chardonnay CELLARED @ 12.5C degrees....$110.00 ...
Complex & tightly structured, with intense lime & grapefruit on the palate,
which slowly changes into a mixture of citrus & pear. Finely chiselled acidity,
cedary oak & lees yeastiness give excellent depth & graciously offset the
richly textured underlying fruit. Finely interwoven & seamlessly presented,
this is a standout Chardonnay of impeccable pedigree with an extended, elegant
finish. THIS IS THE GRANGE OF WHITES.

REVIEWED OCTOBER 2005:- 14.5% Al. Bottle at full level as this wine has been in perfect
cellaring since release to us. Check the cork - perfect.
We allowed the wine to breathe for a half hour after opening with superb results. The
nose opened and had all the nuances of chocolate, black berries. No need to decant,
did not throw any sediment. With air it opened like a flower. Palate was like smooth
velvety chocolate and sweet berries. Tannins not predominant but there to give a perfect
balance. Flavours just linger on, clean dry finish - still many years of bottle age
in the present cellar.. Moreishness 6/6.
