The Juice: 2003 Highbank 'Coonawarra'

Dennis Vice has long championed the benefits of organic viticulture, and this wine - with considerable age already under its belt - comes from the tiny, organic, Vice family vineyard on Coonawarra's famed terra rossa soil.

Basket-pressing and a decent stint in fine-grained French oak has produced a nose with a confit of dark fruit, leather, and cedar, while the palate is lush and seamless with real weight and intensity.That power is matched beautifully by soft acidity and a wave of firm, drying tannin.

Stick it away for a while or decant and enjoy now.
