Description

96 points Robert Parker: “The 2003 Shiraz Old Bastard is a candidate for Shiraz of the vintage from South Australia. Exhibiting an inky/purple color along with serious velocity and intensity, it is a superb expression of top-notch Barossa Valley Shiraz. A glorious perfume of charcoal, blackberry liqueur, smoke, and vanilla is followed by an enormous, but neither heavy nor over-ripe wine that is a testament to the winemaking skills of Reid Bosward. (Oct 2005)”

93 points James Halliday (Wine Companion): “Dense colour; massively concentrated black fruits, dark chocolate, oak, tannins and the kitchen sink; a heroic Parker style. (7/20/11)”

93 points James Suckling: “Such a different expression, this vintage saw a lot of split fruit and there’s dried-berry character on the nose with a distinctive, sanguine, rust-like edge. The palate has a very intense tannin core with dense, almost nebbiolo-like tannins. There’s nothing aggressive here,. Smooth, fine and condensed tannins. Aging well. Drink or hold. (8/4/21)”
