Review

91 Robert Parker Points 2001 Wild Duck Creek Shiraz Springflat Wild Duck Creek A Syrah Dry Red Table wine from Heathcote, Victoria, Australia Brooding big, young, and tight is the 2001 Shiraz Springflat. Its opaque ruby/purple color is accompanied by copious aromas of new oak, black currants, cherries, and a hint of underbrush as well as mint in the background. Full-bodied and chewy, but backward, it requires additional bottle age. Anticipated maturity: 2005-2015.

Broodingly backward, young, and tight is the 2001 Shiraz Springflat. Its opaque ruby/purple color is accompanied by copious aromas of new oak, black currants, cherries, and a hint of underbrush as well as mint in the background. Full-bodied and chewy, but backward, it requires additional bottle age. Anticipated maturity: 2005-2015.  Robert Parker 91 points (Oct 2004)
