"Lifted aromas of blueberry, Campari, clovey oak, bramble, dried flowers and a bunchy edge. Mid-weight, bright and crunchy on the palate: there’s lovely lift and brightness here. Lashings of blue fruits, Asian spice, sarsaparilla and snappy acidity. Long and textured—a delicious example of cooler climate shiraz." - Aaron Brasher, Real Review
"Savory and earth-driven. with notes of Damson plums, graphite, blackcurrants and spices. The palate is medium- to full-bodied with focused acidity and finely integrated tannins, giving notes of wild blackberries, wet earth, cured meat and dried herbs. Wonderfully balanced and giving." - Ryan Montgomery, jamessuckling.com
"There’s depth to this release but there’s also finesse. It’s toasty and meaty and truffle-like, but there’s deep, black-cherried fruit here too, and stem/mescal notes, and a cedarwood oak-derived influence. Those toasty, truffle-like characters are front and centre though, and they continue even as the wine hones to a fine-grained finish. There’s enough tightness here to suggest that it will mature well, though even at this early stage it drinks well, and in a complex way." - Campbell Mattinson, Wine Front
"The earliest planting in 1974 were Shiraz vines and the characterful and unique expression of this variety has been integral to the development of Bannockburn Vineyards. The long and slow ripening period for Shiraz gives us complex and savoury characters in the cool climate spectrum." - Bannockburn
