James Halliday, 2010-2011 Wine Companion

Year: 2010
Editorial: "Dense purple-red; an intense bouquet of blackberry and dark chocolate and some oak, then a full-bodied palate with a notably soft finish, partly reflecting barrel fermentation of the last few baumes." (2008 Vintage)

Gary Walsh, The Wine Front

Year: 2010
Editorial: "I opened up a raft of heavy hitters the other week to pass round at office drinks (I have a day job too, you know) and this elicited all the requisite ooooohs and aaaahsss from the big red wine fanciers. Lavish coffee nougat oak, a touch of mint and thick, sweet ripe black fruits. It’s smooth and even lightly slippery, with a little grippy tannin, but they’re largely plump and well massaged. A little latent McLaren earthiness is hiding in the folds there somewhere too. Obvious and fulsome, yet delicious nonetheless." (2008 Vintage)

Christopher Hayes, Eat & Drink

Year: 2010
Editorial: "Rich cherry, tobacco leaf and warm red earth combine with spicy vanilla oak in a nose- and mouth-full of very sexy McLaren Vale shiraz.Richly textured but retaining finesse, this is a great expression of the terroir and the vintage." (2008 Vintage)

Tony Keys, The Key Report

Year: 2010
Editorial: "Rich dark chocolate on the nose sits firmly at the front of the palate then slowly in fact very slowly unfurls itself dripping the most wonderful flavlours as it goes one rolling into the other and all combining to a greater whole 94 now more points to come and worth its $35" (2008 Vintage)
5 STARS, Equal Top in Category
Winestate Magazine, May/June 2010

Year: 2010
Editorial: "Super-ripe blockbuster of a wine. Dark chocolate and raisined fruit on the nose and a huge concentration and length of raspberry fruit and creamy oak with a chewy oak finish. 5+ years" (2008 Vintage)
"the ideal Dowie Doole red"
Julian Coldrey, Full Pour

Year: 2010
Editorial: "What I like about this wine is the depth and richness of its fruit. Forget reflexively fashionable words of the moment like "elegant" and "restrained" and instead revel in old school McLaren Vale Shiraz, complete with bold oak flavour and lusciously abundant fruit." (2008 Vintage)
