Rockford 2001 Basket Press Shiraz Barossa Valley - Large Format 150cl / 13.5%

A 150cl bottle of Rockford 2001 Basket Press Shiraz from Australia's Barossa Valley.

'The stunning 2001 Shiraz Basket Press was fashioned by Robert O’Callaghan and his assistant winemaker, the renowned Chris Ringland. Initially, this dark ruby/purple-colored effort is not overwhelmingly impressive, but with aeration, the nose opens to reveal scents of loamy earth, blackberries, currants, pepper, and underbrush. The complex aromatics are matched by a savory, fleshy, structured, full-bodied palate possessing loads of earthy black fruits as well as subtle oak. It is a beautifully intense, old vine Shiraz meant for long-term cellaring. Accessible now, it promises to last for 15 or more years. 94/100' Robert Parker – The Wine Advocate
