Two Hands Zippy's Block Shiraz 2005 magnum 1500ml, Barossa Valley
Coming in at a magnificent 99 points, the 2005 Zippy's Block Shiraz is a masterful creation by the Shiraz producing experts at Two Hands Wines. This particular vintage will stand the test of time and can be cellared until the mid to late 2020's without concern.
Robert Parker's Wine Advocate - 99 pts - The 2005 Shiraz 'Roennfeldt Road - Zippy's Block'? is sourced from one of the premier addresses in the Barossa and this wine shows why. It has a profound perfume of smoky, toasty oak, pencil lead, violets, leather, licorice, blueberry, and blackberry liqueur. This leads to a shockingly elegant yet large-scaled Shiraz with a velvety-texture, layer upon layer of spicy blue and black fruits, beautiful harmony, and a 60+ second finish. Words can hardly do it justice. While it can be enjoyed now, you can bury it in the cellar, revisit it in 20-25 years, and it will still be mind-bogglingly hedonistic. - Oct 2007
