The sensational 2004 Shiraz’s inky/purple color is followed by aromas of graphite blueberries and creme de cassis. It offers wonderful purity plenty of stuffing toasty espresso notes from new oak barrels admirable intensity and a tremendous finish. Drink it over the next decade. Former winemakers Sarah and Sparky Marquis have left Shirvington and the wine is now being made by Kim Johnston. Little has changed although the 2004s appear to be more streamlined and delicate than their 2003 and 2002 counterparts.
