[SOLD-OUT] Yalumba Octavius Shiraz 2002

Robert Parker 96 points!
"A spectacular effort, the 2002 Shiraz The Octavius (100% old vine Shiraz aged 22 months in both French and American wood) is a noteworthy successor to the phenomenal 2001 released last year. Aromas of figs, chocolate, blackberry and cassis liqueur, roasted meats, and barbecue spice emerge from this hugely extracted, full-bodied monster. Reminiscent of some Grange Hermitage cuvees from the early seventies, it is a wine of supreme quality, with a singular personality as well as 20-25 years of aging potential."
Robert Parker, Wine Advocate #161 (Oct 2005).

"Marvellously tight, restrained, elegant and finely crafted for such an overt and showy shiraz. Its meaty, black pepper aromas of blackberries, redcurrants, dark plums and cinnamon/clove spices are backed by assertive, toasty but tightly integrated new oak influences of cedar and vanilla. Long, firm and concentrated, its sumptuous and multi-layered palate of brooding dark fruit easily carries its showy new oak is framed by tight, powdery and mouth-coating tannins. It finishes savoury, with lingering musky spices. Drink 2014-2022."
