There are 700 cases of the 2002 Shiraz Greenock Block a classic old style Australian Shiraz aged in American oak. Its deep plum/purple color is accompanied by damp earth pepper fig and black currant characteristics. Chewy intensely concentrated and nearly over the top it is not for those who seek elegant light-bodied wines with restrained fruit flavors. This muscular macho-styled red should drink well for 10-12 years.

Firm in texture an immensely refined style that weaves some earthy gamy notes through the dark ripe berry and spice flavors finishing long and beautifully focused. Needs time to settle into itself and shed some tannin and then wow. Best after 2006. 440 cases imported.
