This wine just has too much character of its own to be your run of the mill Aussie copy cat (or shall we 'impersonator'?) Shiraz - it is soft, highly aromatic, textured and spicy. The fruit used was typical of that from the arossa - intense and concentrated - yet the guys at Two Hands were not stupid and OTT with their use of oak, thus leaving the wine to show its true finesse without being overwhelmed by winemaking additions i.e a great Shiraz, but maybe not so obviously from the Barossa.

- "Firm and upstanding, a solidly built yet lithe wine packed with smoky, peppery blackberry and cherry flavors, persisting nicely as the finish revs up. Drink now through 2010...91" WS 02/06

- Deep black in colour, darker than normal. The nose is full of cloves, Asian spice, rhubarb, cedar and dark cherry backed by a meaty, liquorice note. The palate is not viscous and dense but more filling and subtle, it starts out with moderate intensity but builds through the mid palate where it is over run by loads of fine grainy fruit filled tannin. The 2004 is more in the mould of the 2002 with excellent intensity and greater length. As each vintage goes by we understand the Bad Impersonator style a little more.
