Barossa 2014 Release - For cellaring
Dear All
I am looking for a great Barossa Shiraz 2014 to cellar for anywhere between 15 and 20 years however I am not sure how to go about it.
I know 2014 was a tough year for the region and I am not sure if there have been any recommendations released yet?
Any help would be much appreciated
thanks

You may have to wait a few years for the 2014s to come on the market.
The biggest thing will be how much do you want to spend.
Assuming it is for a special occasion, if you have plenty of cash then Grange or Hill of Grace is the natural choice.
If you want something on the other price end then Rockfords Basket Press or Bin 389 will see 15-20 if they are stored correctly.

Thanks rens for the great feedback!
Actually my first child born in 2014 so wanted to store some nice wine for her 18th!
Grange and HOG definitely above my salary cap but Rockfords sounds like an awesome option... any estimation of their roll out price for this vintage??
thanks again

Hey Hacker!
Thanks for the suggestion... which Mt Edelstone would you recommend?
Re: Barossa 2014 Release - For cellaring
Or other regions who experienced a good year and worthy to purchase for the occasion?
Heathcote, Hunter etc...?

There is only one Mt Edelstone - it is a Henschke wine. I had a 1998 a few weeks ago that was sensational.
Hunter had the best vintage in 50 years for reds in 2014 (arguably). Unfortunately, there are a number of winemakers who tried too hard with their bounty and made a potentially great wine lesser. One wine that should last the distance is the Tyrrells vat 9. Google Tyrrells and contact them if you want some.

Sorry... how embarrassing i was getting confused with Elderton... Yes Mt Edelstone.. pricey but a good choice. will wait for it.
The Hunter something to look at definitely if the vintage was that good.
thanks so much for the feedback.. will go and sit in a corner and blush now

2014 Tyrrell's Vat 9 Shiraz comes under this category and is a sensational wine.

Mt Ed is a no brainer these days? Must be a 10 to 20 year wine under screw cap to show itself though?

And another, not Barossa admittedly, is John Riddoch en magnum. Not sure how Coonawarra is shaping up in 2014?
