"Very deep, concentrated red/purple colour, youthful and bright. The bouquet is powerful and high-impact, it bounces out of the glass, with pepper-spice and graphite, ironstone and blackberry aromas, while the flavour is intense and focused, concentrated and long, with power but not heaviness. The tannins are fine and coat the mouth, the richness of flavour ensuring it lingers long after the wine has gone. A spectacular Shiraz." - Huon Hooke, the Real Review
"The iconic Langi Shiraz, forty years after its first vintage. The times have changed and over the years so has the wine taking on an intensity and depth of fruit not out of place in Heathcote. This is a big, ripe Langi with plenty of volume and flavour. It’s deep ruby colour is backed up by a seriously intense core of dark fruits – blackberry, rocky minerality, blackcurrant and liquorice are well supported by 60% new, small French oak. The palate follows with lashings of sweet, rich fruit and mouthcoating tannins with warming alcohol helping to drive a long finish." - Angus Hughson, Wine Pilot
"It’s lavishly seasoned, first and last things are clove, cinnamon, tobacco, cedar, amongst that white pepper, dark, stewed berries, choc-cherries and faint game meat notes. Slightly resinous character to taste but the smoothness and length are notable. Great depth, concentration and complexity, serious flavour and richness yet lift. One of those wines that stamps its authority quickly. Drinkers/loyalists will find this ever impressive and righteous." - Mike Bennie, Wine Front
