TWO HANDS WINES Ares Shiraz 2005 | Barossa Valley | 1 BOTTLE | AU$120-140 | AUD $ 72 |
Robert Parker Score: 95 points
Reviewer: Jay S Miller — 17331 Oct 2007
Drink 2017–2025
The 2005 Shiraz “Ares” is a glass-coating opaque purple. The nose delivers tar, scorched earth, saddle leather, blueberry, and a hint of chocolate. Opulent, layered, and intensely flavored, it has excellent integration of oak, tannin, and acidity and enough hidden structure to evolve for up to a decade. Drink this tasty Shiraz through 2025.
Two Hands is a negociant operation run impeccably by Michael Twelftree. It reflects the best that can be sourced from all over South Australia. The packaging provides some serious design competition to Dan Philips’ Grateful Palate and R Wines portfolio.
