Expert Review
Huon Hooke
The colour is a dense tawny brown with amber tints which stains the glass for minutes after it's swirled, if swirled can be a term applied to a wine so concentrated and thickly textured that it barely moves in the glass. The bouquet is an explosion of toffee, treacle, honey and espresso coffee aromas with suggestions of the old leather of an armchair or vintage car upholstery. In the mouth that explosion becomes are roar of flavour that penetrates deeply and resoundingly, with a length of several minutes, sweet and thickly textured and mesmerising in its intensity and complexity. The acidity keeps it marvellously fresh on the finish. It resembles very old aceto balsamico more than wine. One sip is all you need. A taste experience as wonderful as it is rare.

There's no surprise that this release easily lives up to its rare 100-point rating. The heady bouquet (as usual) is followed by a palate of pure joy; as it enters the mouth, the viscous big bass drum beats with every known spice, and every known preserved and dried fruit. Then the finish has the acidity to provide balance, but the sometimes searing spear of volatile acidity doesn't heat the aftertaste. In the world of wine, no other winery makes a vintage-dated 100yo release of truly extraordinary complexity.

Seppeltsfield is a showpiece of the Barossa Valley, a magnificent complex of 19th century winery buildings surrounded by almost 100 hectares of vineyards. Seppeltsfield was a focal point of the fledgling Barossa wine industry from the 1850s and now boasts the world’s longest unbroken chain of vintage wines, going back to 1878, enabling the release of a genuine 100-year-old fortified wine each year since 1978. Apart from the extraordinary range of fortifieds, Seppeltsfield today also produces a range of limited production table wines, including blends of Shiraz, Grenache and Touriga, and sparkling wines under the Gert’s Blend label.
