[SOLD-OUT] Grant Burge Meshach Shiraz 2008

Campbell Mattinson 95+ points!
"Grant Burge never lacks confidence. "We picked before the heat wave and all our 2008 wines are outstanding," he says. Meshach is an old vine shiraz, grown on a vineyard that's been putting out dense-flavoured shiraz for over 100 years. It's matured in all-new French and American oak for two years and has always been an oak-rich, toast-heavy style of wine.

Malty vanillin oak sits separate from the fruit at present but it's just starting to seap down into the wine. The signs are good. Urgent, insistent tannin pulls dense, toasty, blackberried fruit along. This is an inky, toasty, bourbon-like wine. The tannin is big yet filigreed; Grange-esque. There's a sense of magnificence to this wine."
