The 2005 Alice's Shiraz from Greenock Creek is a velvety, lush, and deep wine, lead by notes of red currants, cherries, cranberry, anise, sage, and flint, with an oaky and smokey finish. With bold tannins and zippy acidity underneath, the resulting wine is bold yet balanced, and perfectly aged over the last 20 years, yielding an optimal drinking experience.

The 2005 Alice's Shiraz spent 28 months in seasoned American oak hogsheads. Aromas of smoke, asphalt, meat, game, truffle, and blueberry soar from the glass. On the palate this full-bodied Shiraz is velvety-textured, layered, spicy, and richly fruity. While not quite as riveting as the 2004 edition, it has enough structure to evolve for several years and should drink well through 2025. Greenock Creek Vineyard & Cellars, owned by Michael and Annabelle Waugh, remains one of South Australia's iconic wineries. Start with a great terroir, add in old vine material and meticulous winemaking, and end with extraordinary results.
