Tasting notes
A Grenache and Shiraz blend, the medium garnet colored 2004 Eclipse presents a lovely Grenache perfume of raspberry preserves, dried cherries, licorice, pepper and some chocolate. Full-bodied, rich and seductive, it still has tons of concentrated fruit married to a medium level of grainy tannins and a long finish. Drink it now to 2024+.

A blend of 65% Grenache and 35% Shiraz from 34- to 60-year-old vines, the 2004 Eclipse reveals wonderful notes of licorice, blueberries, black raspberries, and cassis. Possessing incredible elegance and finesse yet substantial in size and majestic in texture, this sensational Aussie red should drink well for 10-12 years, possibly longer. Robert Parker, Oct 2006
