Highlight:

Medium to deep garnet in color, the 2002 Noon Eclipse contains 30% Langhorne Creek fruit from the “20 Rows” block. With evolving aromas of plum preserves, Christmas pudding, dark chocolate, espresso and licorice alongside nuances of earth and creme de cassis, this very big, rich and full-bodied wine offers plenty of dried fruit and spice flavor layers with just enough acid to refresh and a medium level of chewy tannins to frame. It finishes very long. Mature and drinking nicely now, it should cellar to 2017+. - Lisa Perrotti-Brown

Description

The Noon Eclipse 2002 is a blend of roughly 70% Grenache and 30% Shiraz from old vines in McLaren Vale. From an outstanding vintage, it has aged gracefully and remains impressively vibrant.

It shows layered flavors of blackberry, cherry, and plum, with notes of licorice, spice, and subtle earthy complexity. The palate is full-bodied yet balanced, with softened, rounded tannins and fresh acidity supporting the richness. The finish is long, smooth, and harmonious, reflecting both maturity and depth.
