[SOLD-OUT] Brokenwood Graveyard Shiraz 2006

-

---

'The 2006 Graveyard is the product of a Hunter vintage in which 45-degree heat over the Christmas-New Year period cut Brokenwood's yields by up to 30 percent. Despite these challenges, this is an outstanding Hunter Shiraz that again cements Graveyard's place among Australia's great single-vineyard reds. It is dark purple in colour and has scents of cassis and freshly ground coffee beans. Profound blackcurrant flavour glides onto the front of the palate and glace cherry, white pepper and dark chocolate fruit characters come into play with lightly applied cedary oak on the middle palate. Silky earthy tannins show at the finish. It would be beaut with grilled broadbill steaks, crispy lamb and stir-fried udon noodles or boeuf bourguignon.' 5/7/2008 John Lewis The Good Taste Guide, The New Castle Herald

'Wonderful depth of fruit with blackcurrants and blackberry, pepper, coffee, vanilla and aniseed all playing their part in the clean ripe aromas that jump from the glass. It's just above medium bodied with juicy black fruits, cherry, mocha, cedar and lots of pepper and spice ' intense and pretty full on. Perfect balance between fruit, oak, alcohol, acid and fine dry tannin creates an effortless flow through the mouth and the finish is very long and dry with a coffee bean aftertaste. Great wine.' 6/25/2008 Gary Walsh www.winorama.com.au
