  I have to upgrade my rating. Not sure whether it was the added bottle age or just a better bottle, as cork closure can always cause variation. The wine is an absolute pleasure to drink, eucalyptus, dark berry, earthy aromas, tannins well blended in. At 12.5% very elegant, which is unusual for Greenock Creek. Sad that this was the last bottle.

  Bloody awful - green as rice paddy in the Mekong Delta. Woody blocks as if one is in a sawmill and some of the most awful grapejuice one could wish to taste. And no, it was not a defective or flawed bottle.

  Very fragrant, lovely nose. Cassis, dark berries, but very light. The most non-new world Barossa I have ever had. Light and elegant (in sharp contrast to many other Greenock Creeks).
  On the palate a touch too acidic. But with sufficient air (I decanted it for two hours) and the right glass (Riedel Sommeliers Bordeaux Grand Cru), this was a great joy to have with a lamb backstrap.
