Two Hands Zippy's Block Shiraz 2006 Double Magnum 3L, Barossa Valley
The 2006 Zippy's Block Shiraz marks the third successful vintage of this spectacular label and shows the continuation of Two Hands Wines capacity to produce stunningly crafted wines, particularly Shiraz. While this particular vintage of Zippy's Block is drinking beautifully right now, it can also be cellared and enjoyed well into the 2020's.
Robert Parker's Wine Advocate - 97 pts - The Single Vineyard series begins with the 2006 Shiraz Zippy's Block Roennfeldt Road, located in the Marananga sub-district of Barossa, an address made famous by Greenock Creek Vineyards and Cellar. A glass-coating opaque purple color, it exhibits a complex, expressive nose of pain grille, spice box, scorched earth, plum, and blueberry. This is followed by a mouth-filling, voluminous Shiraz with opulent blue and black fruits, savory flavors, and an exceptionally long, silky finish. Cellar it for five years and drink it from 2013 to 2026. - Feb 2009
James Halliday's Wine Companion - 94 pts - The extra $30 partially goes to the cost of the world's heaviest wine bottle, and partially to the atomic power of the alcohol. For they who have everything. Date tasted 15 Mar 2008. Drink by 2021
