Interesting to have a glass of this side by side with the '02 BasketPress Shiraz; in comparison the SVS is much more primary, virile, concentrated and actually has more defined Barossa regional notes in it. Having said that, this wine really needs another decade to hit its apogee - a potential legend in the making

Spectacular nose. Integrated tannins. Superb length. This was a wine to savor. Hint of mint, leather. Decanted an left for an hour. Slight raisin taste which vanished during consumption. Drink now.

Exceptional Barossa Shiraz, in keeping with the Ringland style at Rockford in that era. Will improve for 5-10 years, no rush
