Kilikanoon Parable Shiraz 2005
The third instalment in our successful regional based Shiraz selection, the Parable clearly illustrates the role and influence of the maritime Mclaren Vale clime. Small discreet batches of older Shiraz were selected then fermented in open topped vessels before pressing through a traditional basket press. Keeping all fruit parcels separate, the individual wines were each matured in a combination of new and older French and American small oak casks for 24 months before final blending. A lovely broadness and weighted texture so common of McLaren Vale Shiraz with a degree of earthiness and spice, ripe coffee and mocha notes matched by firm tannins and charry oak giving the wine its roundness and palate persistence. Wine Advocate The 2005 Shiraz “Parable” from McLaren Vale is the most structured and muscular of this trio. It has an enticing nose of mineral, truffle, roasted meat, blackberry, and blueberry compote. Full-bodied and brooding on the palate, it will need 8-10 years to show its full potential. Drink it through 2030. Score: 93. —Jay Miller, October 2007. |
