    Rockford Basket Press Shiraz 1987
    Jeremy’s score 89/100

    Rated 0 out of 5

    From a difficult vintage, this sweet and spicy shiraz has an evolved floral bouquet of currants, plums and cedar. It’s rather forward and marginally hollow, with a sweet, leathery chocolate palate that dries out to a firm, tarry finish.

    Rockford Basket Press Shiraz 1988
    Jeremy’s score 93/100

    Rated 0 out of 5

    Elegant, finer wine of tightness, suppleness and style, whose sweet bright fruit and smoky cedary/leathery/chocolate complexity is set against a fine, balanced and tight-knit backbone of tannins.

    Rockford Basket Press Shiraz 1989
    Jeremy’s score 87/100

    Rated 0 out of 5

    More of an old-fashioned sweet, earthy and reductive wine from a difficult vintage, whose smooth, sweet mouthfeel of leathery, chocolate flavour falls a little short before a tough, rather firm and extracted finish.

    Rockford Basket Press Shiraz 1990
    Jeremy’s score 91/100

    Rated 0 out of 5

    A willowy, supple shiraz rather out of the Rockford style, with a fragrant spicy violet aroma of delicate small berry fruit and integrated sweet oak. It’s smooth and creamy, bursting with pure, bright small berry flavours before finishing tight and soft.

    Rockford Basket Press Shiraz 1991
    Jeremy’s score 96/100

    Rated 0 out of 5

    Deep, dark and powerful, this superlative wine has a penetrative bouquet dripping with dark, briary blackberries and plums, with a meaty, smoky background of unusual depth and complexity. Built for the journey around a firm spine of powerful fine tannins and enriched with assertive, but harmonious chocolate and mocha oak, it explodes on the palate with fruit of rare intensity and brightness. Becoming earthy and leathery, it finishes powder-dry and persistent.

    Rockford Basket Press Shiraz 1992
    Jeremy’s score 89/100

    Rated 0 out of 5

    Rather exotic and musky, this pretty, fleshy but finer wine lacks typical thickness and weight, but offers sweet cassis fruit now developing some spicy and earthy complexity, with a hint of dark olives. Slightly sappy to finish.

    Rockford Basket Press Shiraz 1993
    Jeremy’s score 88/100

    Rated 0 out of 5

    Gritty, herby drought year wine whose sweet, relatively simple cooked berry and confection flavours have reasonable intensity and mouthfeel, but are slightly overawed by sinewy firm extract.

    Rockford Basket Press Shiraz 1994
    Jeremy’s score 93/100

    Rated 0 out of 5

    Like the 1998 vintage, a finer, tighter Basket Press of length and suppleness, whose reserved but fragrant aromas and flavours of small red and black berries are offset by lightly smoky cedar/chocolate oak and powdery tannins.

    Rockford Basket Press Shiraz 1995
    Jeremy’s score 90/100

    Rated 0 out of 5

    Sweetly fragrant, but slightly hollow, this is a more delicate Basket Press, whose perfume of raspberries and plums precedes a generous, if slightly flat palate, with sweet fruit and a supple mouthfeel. It’s rich enough, but lacks the tannin structure and complexity of the better years.

    Rockford Basket Press Shiraz 1996
    Jeremy’s score 96/100

    Rated 0 out of 5

    Brilliant, beautifully balanced, focused and supple shiraz, easy to enjoy now but ideally locked away for twenty years. Deep, musky and perfumed, its spicy and accentuated cassis, plum and blueberry shiraz flavours are balanced by chocolate/cedary oak and fine, tight-knit tannins. It’s powerful, yet fine and seamless, with absolutely nothing sticking out where it shouldn’t.

    Rockford Basket Press Shiraz 1997
    Jeremy’s score 93/100

    Rated 0 out of 5

    An excellent wine from this difficult vintage, and one whose perfumed aromas of violets and blackberries, spicy prunes and plums do reflect a higher degree of ripeness than typical for Basket Press. However the palate is still fresh and juicy, lively and intense, with length and persistence.

    Rockford Basket Press Shiraz 1998
    Jeremy’s score 96/100

    Rated 0 out of 5

    A supremely complete, elegant and stylish shiraz which remains totally faithful to its Barossa heritage. Opulent and exotically perfumed, its pristine aromas of spicy plum and dark berry fruit are laced with licorice and peppery undertones, while sweet chocolate oak contributes smoothness and depth. More concentrated and powerful than the 1996 vintage, its thick weight of fruit is perfectly complemented by powerful, sinewy tannins.
