Rockford Black Sparkling Shiraz 2003
Jeremy’s score 90/100Sweet earthy farm floor bouquet of liqueur chocolates, polished leathery, wild plums and briary small berry fruits, with undertones of bitumen, cedar and herbal nuances. Full-flavoured and forward, it’s a ripe, briary and tarry wine whose upfront palate of blackberries and plums, chocolates and tar finishes slightly herbal and lacking its customary length.

Rockford Black Sparkling Shiraz 2007
Jeremy’s score 88/100An ageing, meaty and restrained expression of this famous wine that will provide some charming short-term drinking. ItÕs spicy, floral and peppery, with a dark-fruited expression of berries and plums backed by cedar, fine, dusty tannins and meaty undertones. ItÕs smooth and gentle, with a baked earth character and a greenish undercurrent before finishing savoury, with suggestions of chocolate. Slightly under and overripe.

Rockford Black Sparkling Shiraz 2008
Jeremy’s score 95/100Very refined, elegant and savoury, with a dark, sour-edged presence of blackberries, blueberries, dark plums and briar backed by nuances of dark chocolate, cloves, and cinnamon. ThereÕs a lively floral aspect to its perfume, an appealing meaty edge about its fruit. Underpinned by a fine extract of chalky, crunchy tannins, itÕs long and finely balanced, finishing with a dark note of mineral and a suggestion of mint.

Rockford Black Sparkling Shiraz 2009
Jeremy’s score 92/100Finely crafted, elegant and chalky, this evolving shiraz has a meaty, spicy bouquet of briary small dark berries, dark chocolate and licorice with suggestions of underbrush, five spice, nutmeg and cedar. ItÕs tightly beaded, with a restrained but vibrant presence of dark plums, blackberries and redcurrants underpinned by fine, crunchy tannins. It finishes savoury, with a lingering presence of dark fruits but without exceptional length.
