Sam Kim - Wine Orbit

A sumptuous offering, showing dark fruit richness, toasty oak, cake spice and mocha notes, leading to a superbly concentrated palate delivering multi-layered mouthfeel combined with silky texture and polished tannins, making it sturdy and plush at the same time. At its best: now to 2037.

Dave Brookes - Halliday Wine Companion

Shiraz from the Angus Braw vineyard, 4km north of Lyndoch. Deep crimson with aromas of Doris plum, blackberry and black cherry with hints of roasting meats, cedar, dark chocolate, licorice, clove, tobacco lead and earth. Excellent fruit depth and flow with a chalky tannin grip and a bright, long finish for a wine of this fruit weight.

Ray Jordan - Winepilot

An elegantly presented Barossa Shiraz. Oodles of ripe blackberry and dark plummy fruit characters reveal on the nose and then into the palate. It’s soft and supple with volume that’s more in the medium-bodied zone. Like the strong varietal fruit concentration and how it balances with a light touch of oak. So seamlessly integrated and the fine chalky thread of tannin adds the final structural touch.
