The 2016 is equally stunning but far more youthful and therefore, more delicate and discrete than the 2015.

Some super-ripe Shiraz was picked from Wild Duck Creek’s Original Vineyard and made into wine, which didn’t quite fill a barrel. The barrel was then topped up with Alan’s Cabernet Pressings, being […]
Add to cart Producer: Wild Duck CreekI tasted the 2002 Don PX, which has 17% alcohol and 399 grams of sugar and seems dense and more concentrated than the 1999 I tasted next to it. They are all different degrees or declinations of similar aromas and flavors, such as dates, raisins, coffee and espresso coffee. This comes through as balanced and […]
