Rogues Lane 2017 Shiraz got 94 points from Halliday. Very pleased with that.
This is the review;
The yield from the estate vineyard planted in '95 was under 4t/ha (around 1.5t/acre). Hence the near-impenetrable colour, and the full-bodied palate following on the path set by the colour and bouquet. It is not over-extracted, nor clumsy, the high quality tannins in balance with blackberry and soused plum flavours.
2018 is bottled but not released. In my opinion it will be better than the 2017.
