Bright purple in color to the rim, with its typical flavors of rich mixed spices and sweet, ripe red plummy fruits. Plush, chocolatey mocha characters and fabulous natural acidity paired to powerful, supple tannins confers great longevity, but why wait?

96 pts - Halliday Wine Companion: “Deep, bright crimson-purple; the bouquet offers a complex array of black fruits, spice, licorice and a hint of smoked meat, the full-bodied palate fulfilling the promises of the bouquet; dusty tannins join with the extravagant fruit, and the wine cries out for time. A gold-plated certainty to repay discipline many times over.”
95 pts/Top 100 Cellar Selections 2016 - Wine Enthusiast: “Dusty, firm, powerful: Just a few apt descriptors for this vintage of one of Heathcote’s top wines. Mocha, licorice and blackberries feature on the nose, while the palate delivers more of the same—dark fruit, chocolate and plenty of spice.”
93 pts+ - Robert Parker Wine Advocate: “Deep purple-black in color, the 2013 Shiraz Georgia’s Paddock has a broody nose of crushed blackcurrants, black plums and warm blackberries with hints of star anise, dark chocolate and Szechuan pepper. Rich, voluptuous and full-bodied in the mouth, it is far from "heavy" and offers great freshness to juxtapose the concentrated flavors while the approachable, rounded tannins contribute velvety texture through the long finish.”
93 pts - Vinous: “Inky purple. Explosive, focused aromas of black and blue fruits, licorice and candied violet, with a sexy note of smoky Indian spices emerging with air. Weighty and plush on the palate, offering creamy blueberry and cherry liqueur flavors with intense spicecake, vanilla and white pepper flourishes. In a rich but vibrant style, finishing with excellent energy and smooth, late-arriving tannins.”
