2010 年的 Centurion Shiraz 呈深石榴紅-紫色，明顯的新鮮黑莓及黑醋栗的氣味掩映著水果蛋糕、摩卡咖啡、雪松、胡椒的味道及微微的亞粘土的味道。酒體豐滿，結構緊實，單寧耐嚼且含量高，酸味爽脆，果香緊致，因該酒還處在年輕時期，這些香氣還不夠豐富。余味悠長，帶有濃郁的純漿果及香料風味。適飲期：2013 至 2020 年（甚至更久）。

Coming from 117 year old vines planted in 1892, Richard Hamilton’s 2009 Centurion Shiraz has a very deep garnet-purple color and complex aromas of warm blackberries and cassis over brine, iron ore, cedar, freshly tilled humus, dried leaves, marmite on toast and smoked game. Full bodied and very concentrated in the mouth, it offers firm, finely grained tannins and a very long still very primary finish. Approachable now, it should cellar to 2020+.

The purple-colored 2006 Centurion Shiraz was aged for 19 months in 40% new French oak. Notes of cigar box, baking spices, earth notes, blueberry compote, and blackberry jump from the glass, leading to an elegantly styled Shiraz with layers of savory fruit, good balance, and a pure finish. It will evolve for 2-3 years and drink well from 2011 to 2020.Importer: Jane Delaney, The Ravensvale Group, Naples, FL; tel. (800) 580-0052

The 2005 Shiraz Reserve Centurion reveals the most potential here. From a vineyard planted in 1892, it was aged in 100% new French and American oak. A deep opaque purple color is accompanied by a projected nose of blackberries, cassis, tar, and damp earth. Chewy and full-bodied, it admirably combines both power and elegance, and should easily last for 10-15 years.Importer: Jane Delaney, The Ravensvale Group, Greenwich, CT; tel. (800) 580-0052

The 2004 Shiraz Reserve Centurion exhibits cassis and raspberry fruit as well as a spicy elegance. The wood, acidity, and tannin are all well-integrated in this big, rich, substantial yet elegant Shiraz. With considerable intensity as well as flavor depth, it will last for 10-15 years.Importer: Jane Delaney, The Ravensvale Group, Greenwich, CT; tel. (800) 580-0052
