,p> For Ray Jordan, WinePilot: "… what you’re getting is the best of the best… It’s smooth, it’s effortless, it’s integrated, and it powers through to a sustained finish with so much ease. This is class and polish, and it’s a wine that is so well-structured and put together now that you can certainly enjoy it in the short term. But of course, its greatness will be exemplified with further aging. 98pts” (Ray Jordan, WinePilot)Tony Love agrees: "…exciting to drink now yet with a backbone that suggests many more years of cellaring will only enhance this exhibition of Barossa Shiraz mastery. 98pts” (Tony Love, WinePilot).
Ken Gargett calls it:A gorgeous, quintessential Barossa Valley Shiraz, exhibiting notes of chocolate, cocoa powder, nutmeg, vanilla, spices, tobacco leaves, mocha and even a touch of white pepper. This is seamless and seductive with a cashmere-like texture, great length, silky tannins and intensity running the full length. Immaculate balance and real focus, the wine does retain a sense of refinement. Superb. 97pts"

The wine combines exceptional fruit purity with alluring complexity, with a sustained, graceful finish. 98pts” and Campbell Mattinson says: "It’s so bold and so deep and so immaculately framed, and yet it still finds room for flamboyance. It’s a genuine wow wine when you place it on the table and pour it into the glass.…96pts"
