Giaconda Shiraz Warner Vineyard 2004

Wine.com : « Red Wine by Giaconda from Victoria, Australia. The 2004 vintage was an exceptional year for reds: dry, cool weather produced wines that delivered power, finesse and complexity at much lower alcohol levels. In short, ripeness without sweetness, power without the heavy cloying hand of overripe fruit and alcohol. Warner Vineyard Shiraz is the outstanding red wine of the vintage. Superior in every way to those trail blazing shirazes from 2001 and 2002. This wine breaks new ground.
Color: Deep, intense, vibrant with magenta to black hue.
Bouquet: Brooding: aromas of black cherry. Sechzuan pepper, spices, smoked meats, briary forest floor notes and graphite erupt from the glass. Aromatically stunning.
Palate:Powerful and savory: tightly coiled with fine savory tannins and acidity working in with the graphite characters to produce a tensile wine. An explosion of flavors at the end: black cherry, pepper, smoked meats and briar notes concluding with a lone dry savory finish. Bright-hued violet color. Explosive and utterly captivating on the nose, showing pure cassis, blueberry, wild strawberry, cola, sassafras, espresso, mace violet and magnolia. The palate displays a full range of shiraz (or syrah) flavors: blackcurrant, blackberry, candied cherry and plum, cured tobacco, smoked meat, roasted coffee-you name it. Sweet as can be but there's superb focus and energy, too. Finishes sweet, lush and long, with fine-grained tannins slowly emerging to provide grip and structure. -International Wine Cellar »

Green Point Chardonnay Reserve 2004
Yarra Valley (Victoria, Australia)

Wine.com : « White Wine by Green Point from Yarra Valley, Australia. Fruit for the Reserve Yarra Valley Chardonnay was sourced largely from vineyards on the Yarra Valley floor where the alluvial soils and growing conditions provide Chardonnay with great richness. Fruit was also sourced from vineyards in the Upper Yarra where the cooler conditions provide more delicate and fragrant characteristics with greater acid structure. A vibrant pale straw with a green hue. The wine has a fragrant aroma of white peach, lemon butter and honeydew enhanced by subtle, fresh roasted hazelnut and cashew aromas derived from barrel fermentation. On the palate, lemon, grapefruit and white peach flavors provide a racy, fresh entry before leading to a creamy and smooth mid palate. Extended maturation in fine grained French oak barriques adds structure and length to the finish. »
