Orlando (Formerly Jacob’s Creek) Centenary Hill Shiraz 1999
A sumptuous, concentrated and slightly jammy shiraz in typical velvet-smooth 1999 style. Its sweet and perfumed fragrance of blackberries, dark plums and cedar/vanilla oak reveals musky, spicy undertones of cloves and cinnamon. Smooth and unctuous, its luscious expression of jammy and slightly juicy and meaty shiraz is ably supported by a restrained but structured measure of pliant tannin. Finely honed and balanced, beginning to show the rewards of bottle-age.

Winery
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.
