Phillip White 94+++ Points!
Philip White 94+++!"This is drop-dead gorgeous. Like most of the 2013 Greenock Creek wines " there are also five Shiraz wines from different blocks " it's not as tight and reluctant as the 2012s, with their extreme longevity obvious at release. Which quite simply makes it a more stunning wonder from the start.
All the usual confectioner's topnotes are here in abundance, adding their lacy frill to the bouquet. But the fruit, the blackberries, mulberries and blackcurrants are pushing their way to the fore on the first pour ... it's a heady, tantalising delight.
Drink. The palate is dense and compressed, with a hint of ironstone, which is unusual from this block. Maybe the roots have gotten themselves another foot or two into whatever rocks lie below that rich alluvial loam and clay on the creek. They never stop reaching deeper."
