2007 Howard Park Scotsdale Shiraz Reviews

“Excellent wine from this excellent vintage. Powerful intense and concentrated shiraz sourced from 20-year-old Frankland River vines. Dark savoury plum fruits merged with excellent fine grained quality oak. Seamless and powerful with impressive length. Cellar 10 years.”

“?Blackberry and mocha bouquet with a touch of tar; the palate is quite bright with focused acidity, dark fruits and a slight savoury twist to the finish. To 2014.?”

“?Pleasant, light nose, lots of plum character on the palate and a smooth journey. Certainly a good wine...?”

“All it needs is a couple of years' rest in the bottle. It's an excellent example of the spicy, blackberried style of shiraz that its region can do so well. It also tastes a bit exotic, with aniseed, chocolate and blood plums soaked in a mix of Asian spices. ...the drive of fruit behind it is lovely ...This will mature beautifully.Drink 2010 - 2020.”

“Howard Park has been producing this outstanding, plush, single-vineyard shiraz since 2000. It's seamless, succulent, rich, ripe and ultra-concentrated, yet fine and elegant. And don't forget its Leston cabernet which is of similar quality.”
