Kalleske Tasting Notes
The wine is rich red-purple in colour. On the nose there are aromas of ripe black berry fruits, dark chocolate, licorice, fruit cake, plum, some nutmeg and cinnamon spice and a hint of black olive. These flavours continue to the explosive and mouthfilling palate, which is big, concentrated and displays plenty of juicy fruit with a subtle background of barrel maturation characters. The wine is full bodied and multi-layered with solid ripe, but elegant, tannins giving it a strong backbone and a long chewy finish. Rich and flavoursome, this well balanced wine has excellent cellaring potential.

Wine Advocate
A large-scaled as well as impeccably balanced red, the 2004 Shiraz Greenock's dense purple color is followed by concentrated blackberry and cassis flavors intermixed with notions of raspberries, camphor, and graphite. This beautifully-knit, full-bodied Shiraz possesses modest amounts of alcohol (14%) for its richness and intensity. It should drink well for 10-12 years ... at the minimum. In 2004, Kalleske was the biggest surprise of my tastings. Thanks to cutting edge importer, Dan Philips of the Grateful Palate, I was introduced to the high quality wines of Troy Kalleske, one of the Barossa's top growers who owns 400 acres, primarily in the highly renowned Greenock region. This is clearly an up and coming superstar estate that merits considerable attention. —Robert Parker, 94 points
