Big time Aussie with big time scores!




Lowest price in the country on Wine-Searcher
2009 Two Hands Shiraz 'Coach House Block' Single Vineyard...$99.99 
Seppeltsfield Road, Greenock
Slightly more reserved and deep than the 'Barney's Block', the 2009 Two Hands Shiraz 'Coach House Block' Single Vineyard Seppeltsfield Road Greenock is a wine that slowly opens up over the evening and sports heavenly aromatics of smoked chocolate, black fruits, grilled beef, river moss, and graphite on the nose. Very layered and rich on the nose, the wine is full throttle on the palate and builds through the middle with thick fruit that's held in check by perfect balance, a seamless, light texture, and a rock star finish that goes on and on. I love the aromatic profile here, as well as the structure, and this is not only fantastic now, but should evolve beautifully as well. I don't think 15 to 20 years is out of the question and this is a special wine that lovers of Aussie Shiraz should not miss! (96 pts.)
