Lying in Twickenham, Middlesex (EHD)
Greenock Creek Roennfeldt Road Cabernet Sauvignon--Vintage 1996
Barossa Valley, South Australia
In original wooden case
Tasting note: the perfect 1996 Shiraz Roennfeldt Road (15.2 alcohol) was aged three years in new American hogsheads (small foudres). This amazing achievement boasts an inky/black/purple color as well as a striking perfume of smoke, charcoal, blackberry liqueur, and a hint of toast. In the mouth, it is fabulously concentrated and tremendously pure, with layer upon layer of flavors that unfold incrementally. Mouth-staining, but not over the top, it would be hard to find a more concentrated wine anywhere in the world. Although the tannin is high, it is obscured by the wealth of fruit and glycerin. A tour de force in winemaking, it is probably worth the high cost of admission. Anticipated maturity: now-2018.
