Greenock Creek Roennfeldt Road Shiraz 2004

Barossa had a very good 2004 growing season so it was interesting to see how the Roennfeldt Road Shiraz was traveling.  This wine didn't show any warmth from the high alcohol but it did show very ripe fruit.  This would be one of the biggest wines I have every tried.

Rock me baby one more time.  You have to watch out as the wine jumps out the bottle with flavours of blackberry jam, tar, charcoal and chocolate cake.  There is a massive amount of flavour rolling towards you but if you like them bigger than Ben Hur then you are on to a winner.  The oak has been consumed by this beast so you could open it now if you wish. You will need half a cow to chew on while you consume it.
