While I did not taste this estate’s top of the line Shiraz L’Oizeau, the 2002 Shiraz The Mad Hatter is knock-out stuff, exhibiting superb intensity as well as an inky/ruby/purple color and a fabulous perfume of melted licorice, creme de cassis, blackberries, flowers, and minerals. A great attack followed by an even more powerful, concentrated mid-palate and finish result in a multidimensional, complex Shiraz that can be drunk now, or cellared for 10-12+ years. Hewitson is one of my favorite Barossa wineries for French-inspired, classic, intensely flavorful as well as elegant wines aged primarily in French oak. Imported by USA Wine West, San Rafael, CA; tel. (800) 485-5753 for John Larchet, The Australian Premium Wine Collection.

Firm, with pure blueberry and blackberry fruit up front, picking up earthy, cedary notes as the finish lingers against fine tannins. Best from 2007 through 2015. 300 cases imported.??–HS??Region: Australia / McLaren Vale Select to Add
