yr. 2016 Wine Enthusiast:
94 of 100 Points.
"Wine Enthusiast" has rated the wine "Grant Burge Meshach Shiraz" from the vintage 2016 on 01.03.2022 with 94 of 100 points.
"This is a powerful, dense and still very young wine despite a bit of bottle age. After some time in the glass, it reveals concentrated red and black berry fruit, dried violet, mint, dusty, scrubby Aussie bush notes and a prominent line of polished mocha oak. The muscular tannins are dominant on the palate, tightly cinching the silky fruit. The acidity is well pitched and the finish long. Give this several more years in the bottle. Drink 2025-2035. Christina Pickard"
yr. 1998 Wine Enthusiast:
92 of 100 Points.
"Wine Enthusiast" has rated the wine "Grant Burge Meshach Shiraz" from the vintage 1998 on 01.01.2007 with 92 of 100 points.
"Elegantly combines plenty of spicy, meaty notes with round, ripe cherry-berry fruit. Dark flavors of soy or oyster sauce impart a savory element, adding a bass note to the finely tuned chorus of flavors. Finishes long and velvety. Drink now-2016."
yr. 2005 Wine Enthusiast:
91 of 100 Points.
"Wine Enthusiast" has rated the wine "Grant Burge Meshach Shiraz" from the vintage 2005 on 01.01.2007 with 91 of 100 points.
"As might be expected from a wine not to be released until 2010, this is showing little development or complexity at this stage. What it does have is bountiful raspberry and blueberry fruit and lashings of vanilla, caramel and cedar. Should be a good one down the road."
yr. 2002 Wine Enthusiast:
90 of 100 Points.
"Wine Enthusiast" has rated the wine "Grant Burge Meshach Shiraz" from the vintage 2002 on 01.01.2007 with 90 of 100 points.
"This is the current release of Grant Burge's Meshach, which is typically held back for additional bottle age--the already bottled 2005 will be released in 2010. It displays extraordinary complexity in its scents of tea, coffee, spice and marinated beef, but the primary focus remains on its elegant blackberry fruit. Try around 2010."
yr. 2001 Wine Enthusiast:
92 of 100 Points.
"Wine Enthusiast" has rated the wine "Grant Burge Meshach Shiraz" from the vintage 2001 on 01.01.2006 with 92 of 100 points.
"Gorgeous on the nose: clove, tree bark, black pepper and fruit that is still hibernating. On the palate, it's sexy and layered, with meat accents to the plum fruit and a silky texture that trails on through the long, nut-laden finish. Nice now, but it's still young. Drink 2007-2012. Imported by Wilson Daniels Ltd."
yr. 1999 Falstaff:
90 of 100 Points.
"Falstaff" has rated the wine "Grant Burge Meshach Shiraz" from the vintage 1999 on 01.11.2005 with 90 of 100 points.
"Kräftiges Rubingranat, feinwürzige Edelholznuancen, ein Hauch feuchter Blumenerde, mit Kirschenkonfit unterlegt. Am Gaumen nach Lakritze und Pralinefüllung, die Tannine sind noch etwas fordernd, zeigt eine gute Länge, wirkt recht geschliffen, sehr typisch für Barossa."
yr. 2000 Wine Enthusiast:
91 of 100 Points.
"Wine Enthusiast" has rated the wine "Grant Burge Meshach Shiraz" from the vintage 2000 on 01.01.2005 with 91 of 100 points.
"Right out of the gate, this Shiraz may not push your buttons. Give it a few minutes to open up, though, and it offers attractive but restrained plum, cherry and iron-ore aromas and flavors. Smooth tannins have a firm grip on the midpalate, and follow through to a juicy, lasting finish. Drink now-2013. Imported by Wilson Daniels Ltd."
yr. 1999 Wine Enthusiast:
91 of 100 Points.
"Wine Enthusiast" has rated the wine "Grant Burge Meshach Shiraz" from the vintage 1999 on 01.01.2004 with 91 of 100 points.
"Aged mostly in American oak, which lends the nose crème brûlée and caramel aromas. What's most prominent on the nose, though, is a dark meatiness--like beef jus. Black cherry fruit on the palate is juicy though restrained by a heap of chewy, gummy tannins that persist through the finish. Lip-smacking and delicious, but not at its best until after 2006."
yr. 1996 Wine Enthusiast:
94 of 100 Points.
"Wine Enthusiast" has rated the wine "Grant Burge Meshach Shiraz" from the vintage 1996 on 01.01.2001 with 94 of 100 points.
"Seamless, rich and intense are among the words tasters used to describe this complex wine with its tart-sweet fruit, cedar, smoke, coffee and brown-sugar profile. The even, full mouthfeel is seductively lovely, as is the long, tangy, roasted fruit and toasted coconut finish. Already nicely evolved, this pleasure package is a keeper that will last ages."
