[SOLD-OUT] Magpie Estate The Malcolm Shiraz 2005

Robert Parker 94-96 points!
'Magpie's luxury cuvee (which was last produced in 1999), the 2005 Shiraz Malcolm, spent 12 months in new American oak and 12 months in new French 500 liter pungeons. This is the ultimate 200% new oak wine. Nevertheless, it holds it well, which gives you an idea of just how concentrated this beast is. An inky/blue/purple color is followed by notes of creosote, blueberry liqueur, violets, and a hint of camphor. Super-rich, powerful, and opulent, with a formidable level of tannin, it should hit its peak in 7-8 years and last for 25 or more.'

Campbell Mattinson 96 points!
'This is thick and syrupy and saturated with blackberried flavour - it's like wine boiled down to its essence. There are both toast and clove-like notes, both of which complement the coal-like, deep black, licoricey strength than floods through the palate. There is a good clip of tannin here but it's majestically integrated - this is a tremendously good expression of modern Barossa shiraz. This can be drunk now or in the future - at all times it will provide great drinking pleasure. Drink 2011 - 2019.'
