Wine Advocate 92 points!"The 2005 Shiraz "M Reserve" is a glass-coating opaque purple. Slightly reticent aromatically, it gives up mineral, pencil lead, and scorched earth aromas as well as notes of blueberry and blackberry. On the palate the wine is structured and slightly compact. It will need a minimum of 5-7 years to blossom although the potential is there. Kilikanoon's winemaker is the talented Kevin Mitchell. The house specialty is Shiraz but Mitchell does equally well with Riesling, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Grenache."

"Appearance: Bright red in colour with distinctly youthful crimson hints.
Nose: Powerfully scented yet subtle at the same time, the nose is a rush of chocolate, dark berry fruits and perfumed charry oak.
Palate: Viscous and textured, the 'M' Reserve combines powerful dark fruits, cocoa and mocha flavours with a velveteen complexity that only extended time in quality oak can provide. Fine grained tannins both complement and extend the lingering palate.."
