96/100 — James Halliday, Halliday Wine Companion · 2005 Vintage (Tasted 01 Sep 2006)
“Of brilliant clarity, this medium-bodied wine has perfect texture and structure to its array of black and red cherry fruits, finishing with fine ripe tannins. Carefully judged oak completes a wine of real finesse - and low alcohol.”
95/100 — Huon Hooke · 2005 Vintage
“Deep red purple, excellent colour for its age. Earthy, peppery, seashell regional character; very Hunter but also clean and tech good. Palate is full-bodied, deep, rich, vibrant and powerful. This is a top vintage. Lots of pepper. Very long, piercing, driving palate, very vigorous and youthful, has a great future ahead.”
93/100 — Huon Hooke · 2005 Vintage
“Deep, and quite youthful red with a tinge of purple, the bouquet rich and plummy, with some primary fruit still evident, the palate firm and drying with a lot of savoury notes and earthy leathery regional nuances. Very good wine, solid and very regional.”
94/100 — The Wine Front · 2005 Vintage
About This Wine
The intensely perfumed, sumptuous and seductive Brokenwood Graveyard articulates the very best of Hunter Shiraz. It is arguably the Hunter Valley's greatest red wine of the contemporary era.
The east-facing Graveyard vineyard, first planted in 1968, was once earmarked in 1882 as the Pokolbin cemetery, though this never eventuated.
First made in 1983, Graveyard Shiraz is a meticulous classification selection of the best parcels, mostly from the oldest plantings.
After vinification in open-top stainless steel vats, fermentation finishes in barrel. Maturation takes place in a combination of French and American oak barriques for around 14 months.
