| "A blend of 65% Grenache and 35% Shiraz from 34- to 60-year-old vines, the 2004 Eclipse reveals wonderful notes of licorice, blueberries, black raspberries, and cassis. Possessing incredible elegance and finesse yet substantial in size and majestic in texture, this sensational Aussie red should drink well for 10-12 years, possibly longer. This estate’s brilliant owners/winemakers, Drew and Rae Noon, are meticulous about everything, including what happens at the vineyards where they contract for fruit. The results are some of the most precise, full-bodied yet remarkably vibrant wines produced in Australia." 94 pts, Robert Parker's The Wine Advocate, Oct 2006. | |
