Jeremy Oliver 93 Points!
Jeremy Oliver 93 Points!"A traditional, richer and riper Barossa shiraz whose slightly jammy and raisined expression of blackberries, sweet plums, briar and raspberries is sumptuously supported by a sweet, smoky measure of vanilla, chocolate and mocha oak. It's firm, but fine-grained, long and robust, with deeply concentrated fruit and spicy oak underpinned by a drying, powdery astringency."
Jeremy Oliver, Mar 08
5 stars!"Grant Burge Wines is celebrating its 20th Anniversary this year and has released its Meshach Shiraz and Shadrach Cabernet Sauvignon reds together.
The Meshach gets its name from Grant Burge's great grandfather, Barossa Valley pioneer Meshach William Burge and is his standard-bearer wine.
This 2003 is an absolute clinker, dark garnet-hued, it has rich fruitcake and leather scents. Concentrated ripe blood plum flavour rolls onto the front of the palate and blackcurrant, molasses and mixed peel fruit characters integrate with nutty oak on the middle palate. Smooth minty tannins feature at the finish.
It would be ideal with rack of lamb with Bordelaise sauce, red curry barbequed duck or braised beef cheeks in red wine sauce with potato dumplings and mushrooms."
John Lewis, Newcastle Herald, 7th May 2008
"What better way to celebrate 20 years of operation then with the release of your flagship red. Matured for 22months in oak and three years in bottle, it's a Barossa blockbuster, intense and powerful with berry and plum fruit on the nose and palate and fine, supple tannins."
