“Perhaps the largest and most pleasant surprise I experienced in the research of this guide was my tasting of the two Warrenmang shirazes from 2004. These are naturally robust wines of remarkable, searing fruit intensity. The Black Puma is simply robust and alluring while the ‘standard’ Shiraz carries less weight but delivers deliciously wild, briary and peppery shiraz character. It is marvelous to see this mature vineyard live up to its potential.”

 


BLACK PUMA SHIRAZ  
   

Pyrenees

Current Vintage: 2004

“A sumptuous, exceptionally concentrated and harmoniously constructed shiraz of remarkable depth and longevity. Wild ripe and briary, its dense and alluringly complex aromas of violets, dark berries and plums are supported by cedar/vanilla oak. Black and brooding, its rich palate is lavishly coated with firm, powerful tannins. While its oak is perhaps a little basic, this wine will develop very well thanks to the sheer brightness, intensity and penetration of its fruit.”

 

 95/100. Drink 2016 – 2024+

   

ESTATE SHIRAZ  
   

Pyrenees

Current Vintage: 2004
 

“A firm, long-term and rustic shiraz likely to develop, gamey complexity. Finely crafted, its intense perfume of sweet dark berries, plums and violets reveals, meaty, spicy and sage like undertones, plus a whiff of black pepper. Its searingly intense and vibrant fruit and polished cedary oak influences overlie a firm, drying backbone of powerdery tannin.”
