Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, August 2003
A knock-out red, the 2000 Shiraz Mt. Edelstone reveals a brooding purple color, great intensity, and tremendous power yet overall there is a sense of restraint as well as admirable purity of character. No wimpish effort, it is a layered Shiraz that builds incrementally across the palate, offering expansive blackberry, earthy, peppery notes with smoke and wood in the background. This cuvee, produced from an 86-year old vineyard in the northern sector of Eden Valley, will be even better with 2-3 more years of bottle age; it will last for 12-15 years.

Has a distinct pickle barrel note that runs through the rich blackberry, smoke and white pepper flavors that last nicely on the fine-grained, slightly leathery finish. Drink now through 2008. 105 cases imported.
