Andrew Goldfinch Andrew Goldfinch We should certainly catch up some time. Shoot us an email or something when you get a chance sometime. How's the new job going? I think this is the wine you were talking about. 2002 Penny's Hill Footprint Rows 18-25 Shiraz Item Sold Out McLaren Vale, South Australia, AUSTRALIA RATING: 99 VALUE: CELLAR: N-A ALC-VOL: TASTED: 18 Oct 2004 An awesome red form the best performing rows, from the greatest vintage in living memory. Winemaker Ben Riggs is being lavished with praises from Australian and International wine critics to such an extent that we hope his feet remain firmly on the ground – Robert Parker is amongst his admirers stating “Mr Riggs, he makes damn fine wine.”Opaque black crimson colour with deep crimson hue. Superb aroma of ripe plums, Christmas pudding, liquorice, violets, vanilla, spice and confectionary. The palate delivers an exceptional flavour profile – explosive, with flavours of spice, mocha, blackberry, violet infusions, plum and liquorice. Perfectly balanced tannins. Exceptionally long aftertaste of black and white pepper, vanilla and violet infusions. Cellar 3-4 years (2007-2008) Alc.-Vol.15%RATING: 99-100 VALUE: loveXX-5 That Ben Riggs sure gets around. He seems to make wines that are usually pretty good and usually up my alley.
