97 points James Halliday (Wine Companion): "Vibrant purple-black; seduces with swathes of dark cherries dipped in kirsch, florals, ferrous and woodsy spices, with toasty oak sewn to the shape of the fuller-bodied palate. Everything is in its place, creating an immaculate whole - the fine-grained tannins, the length, the freshness and detail. It's polished and totally convincing. Alcohol 14.5%. Drink by 2028. (Aug 2018)"
95 points James Suckling: "So beautiful and polished with extremely soft and tender tannins that give form to this ripe and enticing shiraz. Plums and wet earth, as well as dusty and grilled-meat undertones. Drink now. Screw cap. (6/26/19)"
93 points Wine & Spirits: "From the relatively cool climes of Adelaide Hills, this polished, perfumed Shiraz is a heady combo of dried rose petals, red and black berries, cedar shavings and a myriad dried herbs and spices. There's a good lick of oak influence here, too. The palate shows a touch of heat from the alcohol, but overall it's medium in weight and made with restraint. There's a lovely, silky texture to the fruit and a savory nuance on the finish. Alcohol 14.5%. (Dec 2020)"
