2019 Greenock Creek, Shiraz "Jaensch Block"

Denne enkeltmark i Moppa i det nordvestlige Barossa har en yderst spændende jordbund. I den øverste del er klippen meget jernholdig og i den nedre del ligger et tyndt lag ler henover kvarts. Kombinationen af de to har vist at være yderst spændende, og i 2019 fødes denne vin derfor som en ny enkeltmarksvin hos Greenock Creek. Den åbner med en eksplosiv og meget dyb, krydret næse med brombær, tørret kød, blåbær, blomster, saltlakrids, asfalt og appelsin. Kraftfuld og eksplosiv i smagen, som samtidig har sindsoprivende flot balance, løfter den den smukkeste af alle frugtsyrer frugten op fra tungen i et silketørklæde, og vinen smyger sig i nærmest perfekt balance ud i ultraharmonisk finale. Meget, meget flot debut og ren verdensklasse fra Barossa! (-2040+) *****

97 points Sam Kim – Wine Orbit: "Substantial and brooding, the wine shows black/blueberry, toasty oak, clove and cocoa characters, leading to a mouthfilling palate that's wonderfully layered with delicious flavours and velvety texture. Opulent and structured, making it hugely appealing. At its best: now to 2040."

96 points Wine Pilot: "Bright opaque ruby before launching into a full throttle example of the Barossa that is dense, unctuous and built for the cellar. Brooding aromas of chocolate, blackberry, cherry liqueur, tar and earth to start which while concentrated are also reserved - this wine is built to last. The palate continues along the same vein with inky concentration and focussed fruit showing both power and detail. A muscular structure and caramel oak completes the package and showcase a wine that, while delicious now, will get even better with time in the bottle."

95 points Andrew Caillard – The Vintage Journal: "Deep crimson. Very attractive black cherry, dark plum, mocha, dark chocolate aromas with ginger spice notes. Smooth black cherry, dark musky plum fruits, persistent velvety tannins and beautifully integrated savoury/ mocha notes. Lovely chocolaty finish. Voluminous and delicious. Brilliant early to medium term drinking style. Drink now – 2026."
