Heathcote 無獨立rating, 但佢位於Victoria中部

----------------------------------------
Heathcote係澳洲紅酒中並非如Barossa咁常見
而Wild Duck Creek Estate 本身亦唔係特別出色
直到Robert Parker 將佢地嘅一支1997 Duck Muck 比99分後, 開始多咗人留意

而呢支Shiraz Reserve係官網亦有詳細講返係點做出黎
用左50% whole bunch去做發酵 (即用唔除梗嘅提子發酵), 同時重本100%用全新法國桶mature 24個月, 去造就呢支非常powerful嘅Shiraz。

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate - 97 pts (Feb 2009)

The nose delivers wood smoke, meat, game, pencil lead, black cherry, blueberry, and licorice notes.
Voluptuous and mouth-coating, it conceals enough structure for another 6-8 years of development in the cellar.
This lengthy, impressive effort will offer peak drinking from 2014 to 2030.
