Tasting Notes

The Rare Chance name came with the impact of the GFC that reduced demand for grapes, including ultra-premium that Rocky O'Callaghan snapped up, increasing production, thus allowing up to 12 months' bottle age prior to release. Vivid, deep crimson-purple, this is an outstanding Basket Press Shiraz, with fruit, tannins and oak in in perfect harmony, the price a fraction of what most who know the wine would be prepared to pay. - 97pts, James Halliday's Wine Companion
