Robert Parker 94 points!"From a vineyard planted in 1972, the 2003 Shiraz Heysen was aged 20 months in 40% American and 60% French oak, of which less than one-third was new. Its dense ruby/purple color is accompanied by a sumptuous nose of blackberry jam interwoven with melted licorice, charcoal, smoke, and roasted meats. Stunning richness as well as opulence, and a powerful, multi-layered mouthfeel suggest this superb Barossa Shiraz should be at its finest between 2007-2020.
From one of Australia's finest winemakers, this wine stood out brilliantly for its precision, richness, complexity, and ageworthiness. In addition, some very good bargains are available from this talented producer."
