2005 Brokenwood Graveyard Vineyard Shiraz
Other reviews...
The purple-colored 2005 Graveyard Shiraz was aged in 80% French oak and 20% American, 80% of it new. It reveals an expressive perfume of cedar, smoke, mocha, plum, black cherry, and blueberry. This leads to a medium-bodied but mouth-filling Shiraz with gobs of flavor, light tannin, and good length. The wine merits 6-8 years of cellaring and should provide pleasure through 2025.

Jay Miller. Robert Parker - The Wine Advocate
A classic style, with savoury, earthy (though fine) tannins evident now, but will progressively soften allowing the emphasis to shift to the black cherry/blackberry fruit. Perfect balance for the long haul.
