97 Points Wine Advocate — A Two-Decade-Aged Barossa Icon at Its Peak

The 2006 Greenock Creek Alices Shiraz is a profoundly mature Barossa icon, now 19 years in bottle and at the very peak of its drinking window.

My Wine Man on Greenock Creek

Greenock Creek is one of South Australia's most iconic and reclusive estates, owned by Michael and Annabelle Waugh. Robert Parker scored the estate's wines repeatedly at the highest level — and the Alices Shiraz, drawn from old-vine Barossa fruit, is one of their most celebrated single-vineyard expressions.

Tasting Notes

Deep garnet with developing brick rim. Dark plum, blackberry, dried fig, leather, tobacco, dark chocolate and a touch of cedar. The palate is full-bodied with fully integrated tannins and a long, complex finish of remarkable depth for its age. 97 Points — Wine Advocate.

Style & Drinking Window

Full-bodied with integrated tannins. Drinking magnificently now at peak maturity. Decant 1–2 hours. Drink within 7 years.

Food Pairing

A 19-year-old 97-point Barossa icon deserves the finest cut. We love it with Cape Grim Grass-Fed Tomahawk Steak from My Meat Man — reverse-seared low and slow before a hard finish on the grill, a magnificent match for Alices's dark plum, leather and seamless mature Barossa complexity.
