1998 Brokenwood Wines Graveyard Hermitage Pipers Brook

In 40 years of existence, Brokenwood has established itself as one of the most reliable estates in Hunter Valley. Their calling card is luscious, berry-dominated Shiraz offering opulent texture and noteworthy complexity. As ripe as these wines usually are, they never lack for elegance or precision. They have proven to be ageworthy, gaining in complexity but retaining sweet, spicy fruit over the medium term. The Graveyard Shiraz is one of Australia's best. Brokenwood also makes a firm, dry minerally version of Semillon from Hunter Valley fruit, with penetrating citrus flavors.
