2004 Charles Cimicky Autograph
A Dry Red Table wine from
Barossa Valley, South Australia, Australia
Wine Advocate # 161
Oct 2005 Robert Parker (92-94) Drink 2005 - 2020 $35 (42)
The dense purple-tinged 2004 Autograph (a 100% Shiraz from 45-year-old vineyards, aged 18 months in new American oak as well as a small quantity of French wood) exhibits a tight but promising nose of black raspberries, cassis, licorice, and acacia flowers. The ample fruit suggested by the aromatic profile is obvious on the attack, and the wine reveals impressive purity, texture, and persistence. It should drink well for 10-15 years. For some reason, this high quality winery never receives the press it merits.
