Wine Spectator
A majestic wine that's tremendously aromatic
and dense in texture, but amazingly refined. Delineates its
ripe plum, blueberry and currant flavors with precision, shading
the fruit with nuances of coffee and dark chocolate, hinting
at smoke and licorice as the finish laps at the palate like
the shore of a deep lake. Best from '10 through '20. |

Jay Miller - Wine Advocate
The 2005 Shiraz “Ares” is a glass-coating
opaque purple. The nose delivers tar, scorched earth, saddle
leather, blueberry, and a hint of chocolate. Opulent, layered,
and intensely flavored, it has excellent integration of oak,
tannin, and acidity and enough hidden structure to evolve
for up to a decade. It reflects the best that can be sourced
from all over South Australia.
Drink '17-'25. |
