97 points Decanter: "Most keen drinkers now realise that Australia can produce a gamut of Chardonnay styles, but somehow the word seems harder to get out about Shiraz. This wine from Lenswood in the Adelaide Hills should do the trick for anyone who has yet to realise that cool-climate accounts of the variety can be every bit as compelling as as their warm-climate counterparts. The wine is dark in colour, with lots of episcopal purple; the aromas are bright, lifted and billowing, not just cherry-fresh but with some billowing cherry blossom in there too. I...

94 points James Suckling: "This has so much precision and drive with flint, green pears, lime zest and rocks on the nose. Tight, tangy and zesty, with a medium body and a mineral, dry and linear palate. Long and focused. Drink or hold" (10/2022) 94 points Vinous: "Super pale in color. The 2021 Riesling Cirrus High Eden Valley Single Vineyard shows exceptional purity and focus, although it remains tightly wrapped in a core of firm acidity. Lime peels, lemon pith and bath salt aromas with touches of tonic water to start. Fine yet tense with flavors tight...

96 points James Halliday: "Old vines; hand picked; élevage in old oak. Bright, clear crimson; a perfumed, red-fruited, spiced bouquet lights the way, the palate making off with this opening by adding high-quality tannins. Whether or not a shotgun marriage, it comes together in glistening unison. *Gold*" (01/2022) 93 points James Suckling: "Fresh aromas of raspberries, blueberries and plums lead to a very fleshy palate that rolls through with plenty of sweet-fruit flavor. So drinkable now. Screw cap." (10/2021)

91 points Wine Enthusiast: "This inky-hued Cab-Shiraz blend is a broody bottling, with a savory, black olive and dusty library-book note to the raspberry and black-cherry fruit. There's a minty, earthy nuance too, plus a subtle polish of mealy, chocolatey oak. The powerful palate is densely packed with dark fruit and spice, cinched by chiseled tannins. While intended as Penfolds's more approachable range, this vintage is a big, chewy one. (CP)" (07/2024) Decanter: "Penfolds' Max Shiraz is a classic – almost a throwback, these days. Rich, sticky dark fr...

93 points James Suckling: "I like this. Unexpectedly fresh shiraz, full-weighted, detailed and impeccably poised. Bravo. A hint of reduction on the nose sashays effortlessly to clove, star anise and dusty riffs on turmeric and curry powder, before violets, blue fruits and iodine play a more typically regional shiraz card. This is my favorite wine of the recent suite in terms of sheer drinkability. Younger vines, longer extraction and superior tannins to the rest, the result. Crunch, sass and power all in one. Drink or hold. " (11/2023) 92 points Wine A...

93 points James Suckling: "This is good grenache, capturing the contemporary zeitgeist of crunchy red fruits melded to a raft of salty, gritty, thirst-slaking tannins, refined, impressive and strident. Full-bodied. Kirsch, clove and rosewater, just a little sweet of fruit and oak, feeling a bit torrefied. A work in progress, but a very good one. Drink or hold" (11/2023)

93 points Vinous: "The approachable 2021 Mataro offers a charming array of rhubarb, new leather and blackberry aromas with a gentle oak backbone. It then fills out nicely with chalky tannins and vibrant fruits of the forest flavors that are generous, appealing, open-knit and lengthy. The 2021 is made to enjoy over the medium term.

91 points James Suckling: "Captures richness and concentration convincingly, with bold dark-fruit aromas of cherry and plum with some savory, earthy elements, too. The palate has sturdy, rich and dense tannins that are swathed in ripe-berry flavors. Drink over the next three years. " (09/2021)
Price: $34.99
93 points James Suckling: "Black currants, wild berries, crushed herbs, dried currant leaves, cedar and raw coffee beans on the nose. Medium- to full-bodied, with mellow dark fruit and minty, spicy notes. Tannins are creamy and supple with a velvety-textured finish. Drink or hold. " (11/2023)
Price: $39.99
91 points Wine Enthusiast: "Lucid aromas of mint, thyme, green peppercorn and pencil shavings are layered onto a core of plump cherry and raspberry fruit. Granular, hulking tannins cinch the tongue, but they leave ample space for the juicy red-berry fruit on this unmistakably Aussie Cab." (04/2024)

96 points Decanter: "Like the stern but beautiful Norse goddess this wine is named after, it is formidable: bone dry, stoic and confident. Built around an austere line of sharp citrus, it also has good mineral grip and a pleasing lick of talc at the finish. There’s a concentration of flavours without forcing any element, amplifying the attributes of a superior vintage. Effortless balance is achieved in this powerful wine." (10/2023) 92 points James Suckling: "Typically regional riesling that is palpably dry, mid-weighted and tensile, requiring a couple...

96 points Wine Advocate: "The debut vintage of Les Amis, the 2001, is 100% Grenache fashioned from 102-year old head-pruned vines, and aged in 100% new French oak. It tips the scales at 15% alcohol, but somehow manages to conceal its oak. A majestic red of great ripeness, richness, and copious quantities of kirsch liqueur, pepper, and spice, there is not a hard edge to be found in this dense, full-bodied offering. Sadly, there are only 100 cases of this compelling wine." (08/2003)

99 points James Halliday: "Barossa Valley shiraz doesn't come much better than this. The growing season and vintage conditions were perfect, but few nailed the opportunity as well as winemakers Kym Teusner and Javier Moll. The silky elegance and balance are coupled with purity and freshness in a manner seldom seen." (02/2024) 92 points James Suckling: "Dried eucalyptus, blueberries and iodine. I find the tannins a bit-menthol drying, but there is a squeak of fruit sweetness beyond, suggesting that this may come to the fore with time. Full-weighted, but...

92 points James Halliday: "A McLaren Vale, Barossa Valley, Padthaway, Wrattonbully and Clare Valley sourced shiraz matured in American oak (7% new) for 12 months. Deep crimson in the glass, the wine initially comes across a little shy, showing itself in the traditional Penfolds 'house style' after some time in the glass. Plentiful black and plummy fruit depth with hints of spice, roasting meats, soy sauce, charcuterie, Old Jamaica chocolate, licorice and earth. Tenses somewhat on the medium-length finish."

97 points Wine Advocate: "The 1981 stood out as slightly superior. Winemaker John Duval always felt this was a tannic style of Grange, but the wine has shed its tannins, and this is one of the few vintages where the percentage of Cabernet Sauvignon was above 10%. Sweet notes of creme de cassis, cedarwood, charcoal, and barbecue spices are followed by a full-bodied, opulent wine displaying heady amounts of alcohol, glycerin, and density in its full-bodied, skyscraper-like texture. I was drinking this wine with great pleasure in the mid-nineties, yet here ...

94 points James Suckling: "This parcel is from Moppa and offers amaro-like herb notes, raisins and plums, as well as woody spices. There’s a concentrated dark-herb and licorice edge to the palate, together with dark chocolate and cassis. Dried herbs, too. Really unique. Drink over the next six years." (10/2021)

94 points James Suckling: "This is a blend of three regions, Tasmania, Tumbarumba and Adelaide Hills. It’s Tasmania that really powers this wine in 2019. Opens on a chalky and stony edge with intense, vibrant white-peach and citrus aromas. The palate has a resolved, complete and smooth-honed texture. Flavors of ripe peaches, honey and citrus sit amid fresh, crisp acidity and a long, attractively pithy grapefruit and peach finish."

James Halliday: "Partial whole-bunch and whole-berry ferment with wild yeast, extended maceration, 10 months' maturation in French oak. A polished pinot with good depth of fruit. Bright, fragrant bouquet delves into briar, bracken and earth with dark cherries. A light savoury feel to taste with dried herb and autumnal qualities. Supple in style with firm, stemmy tannins to close. (JP)" (08/2022)

92 points Wine Advocate: "A more perplexing offering, the 1998 Shiraz Heysen displays plenty of kirsch and blackberry fruit as well as hints of Chinese black tea, meat, and roasted herbs presented in a rich, full-bodied, impressively endowed style. It should evolve for a decade or more. This is the home estate of Rolf Binder, one of the most talented winemakers in South Australia. As the tasting notes indicate, these wines are holding up beautifully." (06/2009)
Price: $69.99
96 points Wine Advocate: "With both the 1996 and 1998 Shiraz Hanisch Vineyard incredible examples of Barossa Shiraz. Both are dense and full-bodied with soaring aromas of black fruits, damp earth, camphor, pepper, and asphalt. The 1996 is slightly more structured and tannic, and the 1998 is more perfectly formed with a seamless integration of acidity, tannin, alcohol, and wood (the latter component has completely disappeared at age eleven). (RP)" (06/2009)

98 points James Suckling: "A rich blueberry fruit nose with violet, dark nectarine and some exotic tamarillo and papaya too. Pungent and distinctive. The palate has a fleshy core of plush fruit with commanding tannins that have so much power and energy but are delivered with grace. The flavors are blood orange, pink grapefruit, goji and red currant and are concentrated to the very end. Refreshing and packed with interest. Drink over the next decade. Screw cap.

98 points Decanter: "A very particular and distinctive take on Lenswood fruit, with winemaker Brendon Keys being bold enough to go very lean, which amplifies the fruit purity and beauty. Lots of strength in the diverse red-fruit flavour profile, which billows and flows through rich pastel shades. Nuanced and understated yet packs serious punch." (04/2021)

97 points Wine Advocate: "The 2023 Polish Hill Riesling is utterly superb. It has the flesh and body that only the Clare can deliver; it is shaped by coiled acidity, and it ripples through the finish with unfettered fruit power. It's a glorious thing, this wine. It's looking precise, focused and floral through the lens of the 2023 season. 12.9% alcohol, sealed under screw cap."

91 points Wine Advocate: "A blend of 94% Shiraz and 6% Cabernet Sauvignon, this was considered to be an uncharacteristically soft, fruity Grange.' Everyone at the tasting agreed with those comments. This wine shows a syrupy creme de cassis, earthy note, some pepper, and caramel. It is somewhat soft and accessible for such a relatively young Grange, but there is plenty of structure and tannin in the finish. It is certainly perfumed and more evolved than some of its siblings that are actually older, chronologically speaking. This wine has sweet, full-bodie...

96 points James Suckling: "Jura is clearly the aspiration and the drive, pickup and fidelity to the grand ideal. Comte cheese, hay, chamomile and the illusory whiff of wood-smoked river trout. A curb of tannins, saline and firm, line the cheeks. The fruit, thankfully subdued by the idyll. This has considerable impact, intellectual vigour and unbridled joy. Extremely impressive." (06/2023)

92 points James Halliday: "Super-fresh, verging on the stalky and grassy end of the spectrum, but it's good. Satisfying. The fruit is everything from pepperberries, blackberries, mulberries, some cassis, licorice, aniseed, fennel flower, flat-leaf parsley and bay leaf. In the mouth the wine is decidedly red fruited, straying into the raspberry and pomegranate space. Delicious drinking for the price, and immaculate packaging to boot. Compelling." (04/2022)

98 points Wine Advocate: "The 2021 Lamella Shiraz is made with fruit from the Angas family vineyard, Hutton Vale Farm, Eden Valley. The vineyard was planted with cuttings from the Mt Edelstone (Henschke) vineyard and represents the final pick of the season each year. Made with 100% whole bunches in the ferment, the wine opens with characteristic jasmine tea, bergamot, raspberry, graphite and star anise on the nose. The whole-bunch component, far from overtaking the fruit, is seamlessly integrated from the first instance this year. The wine is a cohesive ...

96 points Wine Advocate: "The 2021 The Standish Shiraz was made with fruit from the Laycock family vineyard, Greenock, with 30% whole bunches in the ferment. The Standish Shiraz was the first cuvée launched by Dan Standish in 1999, and the wine is routinely typified by its muscular tannin shape and earthy, savory fruit. The most attractive part of this wine is the splay of exotic market spice (namely sumac, black pepper, star anise and fresh cardamom) that sails in on the coattails of the red/purple fruit. It has all the exoticism and romance of a hike t...

Good colour, although not as striking as some of the other wines in the range; Likewise retains some elegance despite the clarion call of the cascade of fruit flavours.

Of the 2018 Penfolds "St. Henri" Shiraz South Australia, James Suckling writes: "A great St. Henri and, although multi-regional, this is very much a wine that speaks of the Barossa Valley, with aromas of ripe blackberries and red plums that are so fresh, together with tobacco, young-leather, earth, chocolate, coal-smoke and tarry accents. Effortless depth on the palate with summer berries, framed in fine, alabaster-like tannins that are underscored with discreet power. So long and captivating. A blend of Barossa Valley, McLaren Vale, Port Lincoln, Robe, Padthaway, Clare Valley and Adelaide Hills. Drink over the next decade or more." (07/2021)

Bid on this bottle of 2010 Penfolds "Grange" Shiraz South Australia (100JS, 99JH, 99RP, 99WE, 98BC, 98DC, 98WS). James Suckling: "Shows super fresh and vivid blue and black berries and a defiantly primary feel to the wine. Plenty of spice and tarry elements, too. There’s a lot to like here, barely getting started. Similar to 1990, but a notch or two superior. There’s an attractive, crisp-cut edge to the tannins, immense richness and impressive resolve. A great Grange. Drink or hold." (07/2021)

Bid on this 3-bottle lot of 2010 Clarendon Hills "Astralis" Syrah McLaren Vale South Australia (100RP, 97JH, 97JS). Wine Advocate: "Deep garnet-purple in color, the 2010 Astralis is still quite primary eliciting aromas of black plums, blueberry compote and blackcurrant liqueur with a savory and baking spice undercurrent plus a fragrant whiff of violets. Very structured, fine and complex in the medium to full-bodied mouth, this wine is revealing much more than when I first tasted it a year ago and is now showing layer upon layer of black fruit preserves, mocha, toast and spices before finishing with great length. Extraordinary wine. (LPB)" (02/2014)
