2005  Schubert Estate Shiraz Goose Yard Block THE WINE ADVOCATE RATING:  95 points PRODUCER: Schubert Estate  FROM: Barossa Valley, South Australia, Australia, VARIETY: Syrah DRINK: 2007 - 2017 ESTIMATED COST: $85 SOURCE: WA, #173 Oct 2007 Schubert Estate is situated in one of the prime spots in the Barossa Valley, Roennfeldt Road, made famous by the Greenock Creek winery. The 2005 Shiraz “Goose-Yard Block” was aged in a mix of new and used French oak for 12-15 months. Opaque purple-colored, it exhibits a fragrant bouquet of pain grille, pepper, crushed rock, tar, licorice, blueberry, and blackberry liqueur. Velvety, ripe, and seamless on the palate, the flavors are already complex, and the pure finish lasts for 60 seconds. While it can be enjoyed now, I’d opt for cellaring it for 5-7 years to allow the wine its fullest expression. Importer: Michael Opdahl, Joshua Tree Imports, Duarte, CA; www.schubertestate.com.au -

SCHUBERT ESTATE - 2002 SHIRAZ GOOSE-YARD BLOCK - BAROSSA VALLEY - ( $90.00 US ) - RED - 94 points & SCHUBERT ESTATE - 2003 SHIRAZ GOOSE-YARD BLOCK - BAROSSA VALLEY - ( $90.00 US ) - RED - 95 points - Two fabulous examples of old vine Shiraz , both of these offerings display a surreal combination of purity, elegance, and delineation with enormous concentration and intensity. Their black/purple colors are accompanied by aromas of espresso roast intermingled with blackberries, crème de cassis, melted licorice, bacon fat, and a touch of subtle oak. Both are ripe, full-bodied efforts, with the 2003 appearing to possess slightly more length and ripeness. It also had a slim edge in terms of elegance, but at this level of quality, to choose one over the other is splitting hairs. Both are well-endowed, super-concentrated Shiraz with more elegance and finesse than typical for these blockbusters from South Australia. Both should evolve for 12-15+ years.
