Bin 95. Deep crimson. Rich ripe lackberry/chocolate/herb garden/mint aromas with some cedary complexity. Medium concentrated palate with mulberry/cedar/mocha fruit and leafy fi ne tannins. Finishes fi rm and chalky. 94% Shiraz, 6% Cabernet Sauvignon. Kalimna vineyard (Barossa Valley), Barossa Valley and Magill Estate (Adelaide). A period of drought and September frosts reduced potential yields. Warm, dry conditions prevailed until late March/early April when a cooler weather pattern marked by drizzle set in."Medium-full red/purple. Defined, dark plum/cassis fruit interwoven with well-seasoned, toasty, spicy oak. Powerful and dense palate with very seductive sweet, rich, raspberry/prune/liquorice/ginger fruit, massively structured tannins, cedar/spice oak and long, chocolatey finish . Still meshing together but destined to become a classic Grange. Drink between 2008 and 2030." (Southcorp Wines, The Rewards of Patience, Fourth Edition, March 2000)
