Orlando (Formerly Jacob’s Creek) Centenary Hill Shiraz 2002
A truly exceptional Barossa shiraz whose superlative expression of vibrant fruit integrates tightly with excellent oak and fine, bony tannins. Its violet-like perfume of cassis, plums and raspberries is unusually floral and heady, revealing superbly measured walnut and cedar-like oak. Long, fine and elegant, it offers classic Barossa intensity and spiciness, with cloves, cinnamon and white pepper highlighting its lingering core of pristine fruit. Finishing long and savoury, it’s an essay in intensity, balance and harmony.

Orlando
With the return of several wines that had been unwisely transferred to its stablemate Jacob's Creek brand, the Orlando collection is rebuilding its diversity and cohesion. There's a new design I rather like, collating together the Jacaranda Ridge -Ę one of Coonawarra's elite cabernets - plus the typically minty Lawsons Padthaway shiraz, the simply superb Bungalow Barossa cabernet of exceptional style and elegance, plus the benchmark Eden Valley Steingarten Riesling.
