  97 points Halliday Wine Companion

102-year-old single vineyard, matured in 92% French and 8% American hogsheads (28% new) for 18 months... The colour is that of an 18 month-old (not 36 months) Shiraz, the aromas of black fruits, licorice and black pepper, the tannins firm and enduring, yet in balance with the powerful fruit. I remain to be convinced this is suited to drinking while the '13 comes around, the best solution is to leave both to themselves for five or so years.

  94 points The Real Review

Youthfully bright, deep red/purple colour and a gloriously aromatic, raspberry and fragrant herb bouquet, the palate very sweet and lush with deliciously ripe fruit flavour and tremendous complexity. There is a little heat from alcohol and a velvety smoothness across the palate. Gorgeous wine, very Eden Valley in its fruit style."
