Description

Two bottles of this highly acclaimed single vineyard Shiraz.

Here's what Big Bob said back in 2006:
"An amazing performance, even better than last year’s showing from tank, the 2004 Syrah Moritz is produced from one of Clarendon Hills’ youngest vineyard sites (planted in 1975). The wine was aged in 42% new French oak for 18 months prior to being bottled unfined and unfiltered. Gorgeous aromas of flowers, blueberries, cassis, and meat jump from the glass of this cuvee. With huge body and a rich, intense style, Bratasiuk claims it is his hypothetical blend of a Cornas and Hermitage, although it possesses more fruit than most of those wines. It should drink well for a minimum of 15 years."

There are some much more recent assessments on Cellartracker:
1/21/2016 - XAVIER AUERBACH WROTE: 93 Points
Very similar to my tasting note from 9 August 2014. In stark contrast to the bottle tasted on 17/18 August however, this one starts out rich and overripe, only to find its balance on day two. When it does, it achieves an impressive balance between power and elegance, style and richness, weight and precision, all wrapped in silk. One bottle left, which I will drink sooner rather than later.

2/19/2013 - GIGGS WROTE: 95 Points
Simultaneously subtle and powerful in that it's not a fruit bomb but is still richly concentrated. The nose gives cranberry reduction, red berries, espresso bean, smoke, and dark chocolate. Polished, well-made palate has firm acidity, fresh red berries, and herbal and graphite mineral tones. Just entering its drinking window now, this is an excellent wine that will be ridiculous in 5-10 years.
