94 Pts Josh Raynolds - Vinous Media |
"Dark purple. Seductively perfumed, room-filling bouquet of blackberry, blueberry, spicecake and minerals. Deep and sweet but improbably vibrant, boasting powerful cherry and cassis flavors along with Asian spices and a suave vanilla quality. Admirably restrained on the finish, which features silky tannins and outstanding persistence. The balance of this syrah is extremely impressive." -94 points- Josh Raynolds- International Wine Cellar |
Description:
"Rich and ripe, with layers of black cherry, blackberry and licorice to tunnel through before getting to the meaty, minerally core. The finish lingers against polished tannins. This is surprisingly refined. Drink now through 2017. 500 cases made." -92 Points - Wine Spectator
"The 2005 Shiraz Mungo Park (from 80-year old vines) boasts an inky/ruby/purple color, lovely earthy, smoky, peppery, blackberry, and cassis fruit, a dense, full-bodied palate, wonderful opulence and richness, sweet tannin, and fine length. This stunner should age beautifully for 1-2 decades." -92+ Points - Robert Parker - The Wine Advocate
"The 2005 Mungo Park Shiraz was sourced from a vineyard with low yields of 1.5 tons per acre. The wine was aged in 100% new French oak and bottled unfiltered. It reveals fragrant aromas of toasty oak, smoke, tar, black olives, and blueberry compote. Ripe and intensely flavored upon entry, it exhibits an elegant personality with outstanding depth, concentration, and a long, pure finish." -91 Points - Jay Miller - The Wine Advocate
"There are old vines scattered throughout the Barossa Valley that in most cases hug the river that has long since ceased to flow seriously. The original settlers planted them there to ensure that their vines had a continuous supply of water. The settlers that followed were required to grow on the slopes of the Valley and it is from these areas where wines can be found with greater definition and intensity."
"Produced from 80-100 year old gnarled Shiraz vines from a Single Vineyard in the Moppa region of the Barossa Valley, MUNGO PARK receives green harvesting that ensures just the right crop level, followed by handpicking, matched with winemaking that follows the best traditions of our old-world background. The resulting wine is therefore not just fullbodied and rich, but has a linear sense of fresh definition, with major uplift on the end palate, that is a feature of the region." -Winery
