Jeremy Oliver 94 points!"An idiosyncratic wine in this range, the 1994 leaves nothing to doubt with its exaggerated ripe and tarry plum/prune fruit, its massively sweet American oak and its wild, floral and musky aromas. You'll love or hate its dimensions and ripeness, but its luxuriant and smooth texture and brightness of fruit stamp this as a quality wine, if one certain to divide opinions."
Jeremy Oliver, July 2000
Robert Parker 90 points!"My first exposure to these wines has resulted in enthusiastic tasting notes.
The top of the line cuvees from Coriole are a proprietary red called Mary Kathleen and a blockbuster Shiraz called Lloyd. Potentially even more impressive than the Mary Kathleen, the 1994 Lloyd is a huge, monolithic, blockbuster. This wine exhibits a sweet, black fruit (blackberries and prunes), hickory smoke-scented nose, extraordinary ripeness, and mouthcoating levels of glycerin and extract. Massive, deep, rich, and still unformed, this wine should age effortlessly for 12-20 years. If more complexity develops, it will merit an even higher rating."
