Robert Parker's Wine
Advocate: "The 2005 Dry Red No. 2 is predominantly shiraz with a
dollop of marsanne and viognier. Purple-colored, it delivers a splendid
perfume of toasty oak, smoke, violets, pepper, blueberry and blackberry
liqueur. Velvety textured and seamless on the palate, it brilliantly
combines elegance and power. There is a superior depth, great harmony, and
a very long pure finish. It can be enjoyed now, but its impeccable balance
will carry it for 20-25 years. Ancient by Australian standards, this
artisanal winery was started in 1969 by Dr. Bailey Carrodus. It now
encompasses some 78 dry-farmed acres. All of the wines are produced from
estate fruit." Rating: 95/100 |
