1999 Rockford SVS Pressings Shiraz - Cellar Collection
96 points, Jeremey Oliver
Marvellous ripe and luscious, but superbly measured shiraz, steeped in heady aromas of briary small red and black berry fruit and enhanced by a measured maturation in smoky chocolate/vanilla oak. A velvet-smooth and creamy palate presents layer upon layer of ripe cassis, plum and red berry fruit, punctuated by the musky white pepper and licorice flavours of old Barossa vines. Beautifully balanced, and not a dead grape in sight.
Overview:
The 1999 SVS Pressings is a robust Shiraz with dark berries and vanilla notes. Limited and meticulously crafted, it delivers a full-bodied experience with well-integrated tannins and a satisfying finish.
