The Wine Front – "100% shiraz from the Upper Tintara Vineyard in McLaren Vale. The 2016 made quite a splash and this is very good too. It has the flesh, it has the form. It has the softness of gentle development as well."
World Wine – "The source of the fruit can be traced back to the late 1890s with cuttings taken from the 1891 planting to populate three locks in the Upper Tintara. The combination of the richness and smooth textural elements of the Upper Tintara with this spicy grain Blewitt Springs influence works so well here. Balanced with a seamless tannin and oak integration. A crowd pleaser." - Ray Jordan, 93 points
The Wine Front – You can buy with confidence. This hits the nail on the head. It’s fragrant, pretty, varietal and juicy. Drinkability as a result is writ large, though the wine’s fine/firm tannin structure suggests that it’s going nowhere in a hurry. Now or later. Strawberries, red cherries and assorted spice. Some tang but not in a sweet-sour way. Oak well in check. Dry finish with a bit of crackle and spice to it. Lovely.
Wine Enthusiast – This vintage is quite different from the light, bright 2017 bottling. It's more complex and age worthy. The combo of old vines (some dating as far back as 1887), whole-bunch fermentation and the restrained use of oak lets the fruit and place shine. Brambly blueberries and blackberries burst from the glass along with distinctive spice, saddle leather, crushed roses, fennel seed, graphite and fistfuls of herbs. Medium in weight, there's focus on the palate, defined by fine, talc-like tannins, length and layers of flavor. Drink now–2030
