Deep purple-red like the Reserve, unashamedly full-bodied, concentrated and intense.. 2008 James Halliday Australian Wine Companion

Five starts. Impenetrable purple, verging on black, hyper concentrated regional style swollen with bitter chocolate, blackberry and plum, a heroic Henry VIII style!. 2008 James Halliday Australian Wine Companion
94 points. Five Stars. This new maker has two ripping Shirazes. The Reserve is concentrated, rich and ripe, but not over the top or alchol-hot; rather its chock-full of bold plum and chocolate flavours with a lick of licorice. Fruit-sweet, big and chunky.. Huon Hooke, Gourmet Traveller Wine Magazine 2007
Top Aussie Red. Huon Hooke, Good Living Magazine, Sydney Morning Herald, October 2006

Four and a half stars - Deep colour, inky black fruit, liquorice and chocolate aromas and flavours, very concentrated and full-bodied with a multi-layered palate and an abundance of tannins.. 2007 James Halliday Australian Wine Companion
A well constructed wine with deep, strong fruit that's well supported by smooth, fine drying tannins and fresh acid. The flavours are intense with mulberry, plum, spices (pepper and a hint of nutmeg) and blackberry on a long.....,very dry finish. A muscular-weight wine with a firm consistency, there is some elegance to it despite its size and intensity, a very good wine!. Ric Einstein TORBwine 2006

Highly recommended. The quality is immediately evident. Pure, deeply-seated, strong fruit drives the wine but it solidly backed by smooth, fine, tight tannins and fresh acid, the balance and construction are excellent. A beautiful expression of fruit that is very savoury on the up-take, mulberry, cherry, chocolate, a big grind of white pepper, with blackberry and coffee oak on the tail, it finishes long and dry..
