Clarendon Hills Shiraz Hickinbotham Vineyard--Vintage 1998
McLaren Vale, South Australia
Tasting note: The black/purple-colored 1998 Shiraz Hickinbotham (600 cases) reveals extraordinary intensity. This wine exhibits smoky cassis, blackberry, melted asphalt, and toasty oak aromas, purity of fruit, an earthy, peppery character, and massive extract and richness. Drink this blockbuster Shiraz over the next 12-15 years. This immense, super-concentrated, muscular wine appears to mirror the personality and stature of proprietor/winemaker Roman Bratasiuk. Clarendon Hills produces some of my favorite Australian wines, and readers looking for flavor, personality, and pleasure, should seek out this limited production gem. Robert Parker.
