Grant Burge Meshach Shiraz 2012

Barossa Valley

Decanter World Wine Awards Gold 2019

Barossa Super 100 Classification – Wines over $100

With over 100 wines featured in the Classification the list represents the depth of collectable wines of distinction being made in Australia’s most famous wine region.

98 Points - James Halliday "The 22nd release of Meshach celebrates the great '12 Barossa Valley vintage. The colour is still deep crimson-purple, setting the pattern for the bouquet and palate to follow. A wine of the highest quality in the Olympian class of Barossa Valley shiraz, seamless, calmly powerful and perfectly balanced. Black fruits dominate, but this is no one-dimensional power play, with hints of licorice, bitter chocolate and graphite. The tannins and oak contributions are perfectly placed and paced."

95 Points - Decanter "Cooked dark fruit and violet aromas. Flavours of ripe dark plums and cherries with velvety tannins, plus juicy and fresh acidity that balances the ripe fruit. Developing beautifully with much more to come."

House of Arras Late Disgorged 2003

Decanter World Wine Awards: Gold 2017

Gold Medal – 2017 Champagne & Sparkling Wine World Championships

Gold Medal – 2017 International Wine & Spirit Competition

99 Points - Stuart McCloskey "Extraordinarily left on the lees for 12 full years and disgorged June 2015. This is far from a New World gimmick - Mind-bogglingly brilliant and without question, the greatest sparkling wine outside of Champagne and better than many within. A sublime blend of 61% Chardonnay & 39% Pinot Noir which offers a profusion of aromatics and flavours. The wine delivers mouth-filling generosity with nutty honeycomb, toasted brioche, bread (a factor of the extended lees contact), toasted grains, caramel and citrus notes. I detect some ocean sea salinity which makes sense given the marine location. Clearly, the wines maturity is for all to see however, the purity and finesse is quite staggering. A towering masterpiece, riveting, difficult to share as several glasses is never enough and I honestly can't imagine it getting any better. Truly epic and the New World benchmark. Almost perfect! Served using Zalto universal. Only 2,200 bottles produced."

98 Points - James Halliday "First fermentation in stainless steel. Gleaming straw-yellow; 6.5g/l dosage, disgorged June 2015, and has acquired exceptional length to its toasted, buttery brioche, honey, spice and nut flavours. Despite its age, it has kept its freshness and vibrancy thanks to its core of acidity."

Hawkes Bay A&P Wine Awards 2016: Gold

#35 in James Sucklings Top 100 NZ Wines 2017

97 Points - Bob Campbell

Dense and powerful Syrah with impressively rich flavours of chocolate, plum/dark berry, liquorice, cracked black pepper and spicy oak. I rate it slightly ahead of the more structured and highly celebrated wine from the 2013 vintage and I believe it will cellar at least as well despite being more accessible now.

New Zealand Syrah

Taittinger Comtes Blanc de Blancs (Methuselah 6L) 2006 Special OWC

Champagne

Decanter World Wine Awards: Silver 2017

97+ Points - Antonio Galloni

The 2006 Comtes de Champagne is striking, especially in the way it brings together elements of ripeness and freshness in a hypothetical blend of the 2002 and 2004. Smooth and creamy on the palate, the 2006 is all about texture. There is a real feeling of density and weight in the 2006, qualities I expect to see grow with time in the bottle. All the elements fall into place effortlessly. The 2006 has been nothing short of magnificent both times I have tasted it. Comtes de Champagne remains the single best value (in relative terms) in tête de cuvée Champagne. I suggest buying a case and following it over the next 20-30 years, which is exactly what I intend to do. There is little doubt the 2006 Comtes de Champagne is a magical Champagne in the making.

Elderton Estate Shiraz 2005

Barossa Valley

International Wine Challenge: Gold 2008

92+ Points - Stuart McCloskey

The multi award winning Shiraz (Gold at the IWC & 94 points Robert Parker) is a benchmark for Shiraz and for the Barossa region. The ’05 occurred slightly later than usual, resulting in excellent quality fruit with higher Baume, good natural acid and superb flavour. Ten years has taken the wine to a wonderful meaty edge not to dissimilar to a great Syrah from the Northern Rhone. Incredibly wine and value to boot.
