Print this Wine         2004 Fireblock Shiraz   CLARE VALLEY/SOUTH AUSTRALIA             Publication:   International Wine Cellar (September 2007) Title:   International Wine Cellar - 2004 Fireblock Shiraz - 90 Points Comment: Ruby-red. Explosively perfumed aromas of vibrant red and dark berries, graphite, violet and smoked meat evoke the Rhone Valley. Sweet, focused raspberry and cherry preserve flavors are framed by juicy acidity and given structure by silky tannins. Spicy qualities build and linger impressively on the long, velvety finish. The vines here were reportedly planted in 1928. 90 Points Author: Joshua Raynold Publication:   James Halliday - Wine Companion 2007 (Jan 2007) Title:   James Halliday - 2004 Fireblock Shiraz - 94pts Comment: 94pts “Intense, deep purple-red; full-bodied; extremely powerful and dense blackberry, plum and dark chocolate fruit, the oak incidental, and alcohol adding more to sweetness than to heat. Parkeresque. Screwcap. 15.5° alc.” Author: James Halliday Publication:   The Wine Advocate (Oct 2006) Title:   Robert Parker - 2004 Fireblock Shiraz - 89pts Comment: 89pts "Hints of sweet cherries, cassis, chocolate, and damp earth characterize the 2004 Shiraz. With great upfront fruit, a narrow palate, and an austere finish, it is a complex, restrained Shiraz that should drink well for 1-3 years." Author: Robert Parker Publication:   International Wine Cellar (Aug 2006) Title:   Tanzer's IWC - 2004 Fireblock Shiraz - 90 - Aug 2006 Comment: "Dark violet. Explosively rich aromas of wild strawberry, blackberry and suave baking spices. Lush and broad, the expressive berry flavors showing impressive ripeness as well as focus and depth. Fresh, spicy and long on the finish, with supple tannins framing the powerful fruit." 90pts Author: Joshua Raynolds         How do I download Hi-Res Labels?
