Heathcote II Shiraz 2004 CNY meaty dishes such as roastedAn impressive specimen from Victoria, the 2004 Shirazs inky purple color is followed by beautiful aromas of graphite, scorched earth, blackberries, and black raspberries, striking minerality, and admirable precision. It is full bodied, powerful, rich, structured, and stacked and packed. The wines freshness, purity, and intensity suggest it will last for 15 or more years. WA 94
