2002 Hanging Rock Heathcote Shiraz

What a difference a year makes, 2002 produced 20% of the yield that was seen in 2001 with vintage conditions and winemaking technique producing a wine of great elegance and longevity.

The fruit on the nose is still tightly bound with blackberry and plum enjoying notes of chocolate and understated mint.

Impeccable structure on the palate with fine tannin and acid providing the backdrop for a brooding baseline of dark fruits that soak up quality oak that provides mocha and spice complexity.

The wines evolves to reveal some secondary leather and earth notes with time in the glass. A wine of power and elegance.
