Alice’s Shiraz, Greenock Creek, Barossa Valley

Score: WA91+

The 2006 Shiraz Alices is more dense and saturated than the Seven Acre cuvee. It exhibits a brooding nose of smoke, lavender, damp earth, game, and blueberry. Firm and a bit closed down on the palate, this structured effort is still tightly wound and will require extended cellaring of 6-8 years.  It seems to have all the right stuff to ultimately reveal its full potential but time will tell.
