[SOLD-OUT] Grant Burge Meshach Shiraz 2002

Jeremy Oliver Rating 95!
"An elegant Meshach, but no shrinking violet, either! Very intense and assertively oaked, with dark plums, blackcurrants and dark chocolate backed by toasty aromas of vanilla, coconut ice, cedar and cigarboxes, it's also perfumed and floral. Surprisingly fine and elegant and seamless, its palate is saturated with jammy black and red berry flavours and supported by fine, firm tannins of genuine strength. It finishes long and savoury, with lingering suggestions of licorice, cloves and minerals. Drink 2014-2022."

Wine Advocate 93 points!
"The 2002 Shiraz "Meshach" is the flagship of the winery. The fruit is from the oldest portion of the Filsell vineyard with vine age close to 100 years. It was aged in French and American oak for 20 months and given another 30 months of bottle age prior to release. It delivers a splendid bouquet of smoky oak, scorched earth, pencil lead, violets, bacon, and blueberry. It has outstanding depth, complexity, and gobs of flavor. It has enough structure to evolve for several years but can be enjoyed now. Grant Burge and Burge Family Winemakers have a familial but not philosophical connection. One is big, the other an artisanal, hands-on operation. Not that big is bad as this Grant Burge lineup demonstrated."

"What determines a wine's price? '... Grant Burge has just released his delectable Meshach 2002 Shiraz at $100. Is it only one fifth of the wine that Grange is? From a pure drinking angle, if I had a spare $500, I'd buy five Meshachs rather than on Grange. If I was an investor I may well buy the Grange, though having recently sampled a range of Meshachs from 1990 onwards, they are alos looking like valuable collectables....'"

"93 points A big Shiraz with a flair for elegance, offering a crisp texture against a fleshy veneer of fine tannins, with a lively core of blackberry, cherry and minty, creamy notes on the long finish. Best from 2010 through 2020. July 2007" Wine Spectator USA
