Robert Parker/Wine Advocate – "Spicy and pert, this 2020 The Eagle Shiraz incorporates a small component of whole bunch (about 15%), and
this elevates the spice component untold. It is a great inclusion, along with the subtle lacing of orange peel,
white pepper, blood orange, cinnamon, and blueberry. It's eminently classy, refined and electric, in its way. The
wine speaks eloquently of its place in the Victorian hills, but it also expounds fragrance, finesse and energy. It's
a super wine. You can drink this now, but it borders on frisky. I love it as is, but the wine will only gain in stature,
complexity and nuance as it ages. Five years from release might be a good rule of thumb, but you go your own
way. A good wine is good at every age." - Erin Larkin (The Wine Advocate)
James Halliday – Fabulous wine. Powerful, complex and long. Pure plum into meaty spice into forest berries into fragrant herbs.
You can taste the fruit, the soil and the wood, but it all presents as one. And then there's the finish. What a
finish. Structured, textural, flavoursome and long. This wine is the complete package.- Cambell Mattinson
Robert Parker/Wine Advocate – Powered by scents of pepper-studded smoked meat, mulberries and mocha, the 2016 Lieu-dit Malakoff Shiraz is a smooth, supple beauty. It's full-bodied without seeming overly rich, heavy or alcoholic, lined by silky, fine-grained tannins and showing impressive length on the finish. Yes, it's on the savory side of things, but that just provides a point of difference when it's tasted against many of its Australian peers.
James Halliday – It's easy enough to list the flavours: spearmint, boysenberry, dark chocolate and pure blackcurrant, but it's the arrangement and more so the flamboyant flourish of them that really impresses. This is Dalwhinnie in dynamic good form. Integrated tannin ripples through the back half of the wine, as do sweet woodsmoke characters, and the finish is full of running and then some. - Campbell Mattinson (Halliday Wine Companion)
James Halliday – "Dalwhinnie seldom misses the target, and certainly didn't in '15. This has Rolls Royce power, with no need to flaunt it. Black fruits of all descriptions have a (fruit) sweet edge that is quite delicious, the mouthfeel supple the palate of effortless length, French oak just a cog in the engine." - James Halliday (Halliday Wine Companion)
