Jeremy Oliver Rating 97!
Robert Parker 98 points!
Jeremy Oliver Rating 97!A huge, extracted but soundly balanced shiraz whose heady, wild aromas of deeply spiced and perfumed cassis, mulberries, blackberries and plums are backed by chocolate oak and profoundly floral undertones. A blockbuster, its sumptuous layers of dark fruit and chocolate/cedary oak are tightly wound around a spine of firm but pliant tannins. It finishes savoury, with rustic, charcuterie-like undertones.

Robert Parker 98 points!The virtually perfect 2003 Syrah Piggott Range is displaying far more character, depth, and potential out of bottle than it did from barrel. The most backward, tannic, and muscular of the 2003 Syrahs, it possesses an inky/blue/black/purple color, incredibly full body, monster tannins, huge concentration, and a striking minerality with all the blackberry, blueberry, and peppery characteristics one expects in a top-notch Syrah. It demands 5-6 years of cellaring, and should keep for 20-25 years. A brilliant Syrah!
