St Hallett Blackwell Shiraz 2001
Jeremy’s score 92/100Meaty, dark and pruney aromas of currants, blackberries and plums with sweet chocolate and vanilla oak. Smooth, black and briary, its sumptuous palate reveals a fine depth of plush, velvet-like texture and concentrated licorice and cassis-like fruit. There’s a faint suggestion of overripeness, but the wine has plenty of richness and substance.

St Hallett Blackwell Shiraz 2002
Jeremy’s score 93/100Silky, smooth and pristine modern Barossa shiraz whose smoky, creamy fragrance of cassis, dark plums and blueberries is lifted by spicy nuances of cloves and cinnamon and some carefully measured chocolate-like American oak. Round and generous, it’s a fruit bombshell, steeped in intense flavours of blackberries and cassis matched by some rather voluptuous and creamy, mocha oak.

St Hallett Blackwell Shiraz 2003
Jeremy’s score 93/100Smooth, elegant and approachable Barossa shiraz with a ripe, slightly jammy aroma of violets and blackcurrants, plums and raspberries enhanced by a restrained expression of chocolate/vanilla oak and spicy nuances of cinnamon and cloves. Long and silky, its vibrant expression of dark berries and plum does reveal a currant-like aspect, but retains brightness and vitality. Supported by lightly smoky chocolate/mocha oak and a firmish, fine-grained backbone.

St Hallett Blackwell Shiraz 2004
Jeremy’s score 94/100A delightful Barossa shiraz whose deep, dark and spicy aromas of plums, blackberries and redcurrants are backed by nuances of white pepper, spice and a meaty shade of fine-grained oak. Velvet smooth, luscious and seamless, it’s long, gamey and dark-fruited, saturated with pristine but meaty flavours of cassis and dark plums handsomely supported by chocolate/vanilla oak and framed by a firm, cut of silky tannins.

St Hallett Blackwell Shiraz 2005
Jeremy’s score 86/100Like many 2005 shirazes, it’s firm, well structured and elegant, but has a rather overcooked, meaty and currant-like nature. With plenty of smoky, meaty artefact and charry oak, its jammy expression of plums and small berries overlies spice cake-like notes of cloves and cinnamon. It’s well-handled tannins are polished and pliant.

St Hallett Blackwell Shiraz 2006
Jeremy’s score 90/100An elegant, supple and polished shiraz whose meaty, mocha-like bouquet of dark plums and blackberries, cloves and cinnamon is lifted by a whiff of white pepper. Medium in weight, its smooth, brightly lit palate of berry/plum fruit and lightly toasty vanilla oak is underpinned by fine, dusty and grainy tannins, finishing fresh and lively.
