Jeremy Oliver 97 points!"Classic, archetypal Grange with a fully mature red-brown colour. Delicate, ethereal aromas of fivespice and sandalwood open up to reveal an underlay of black cherries, dark plums, prunes and walnuts. Plush and velvet-like, the palate has length and presence, with deep flavours of plums and dark berries interwoven with firm, drying tannins and chocolate/cigarboxy oak. Wonderful balance and harmony, with plenty of time ahead."

Robert Parker 93 points!" A great Grange, and certainly the best bottle I have had out of four different tastings, this large-scaled Grange (13.4% alcohol with a relatively high pH of 3.76) is a blend of 88% Shiraz and 12% Cabernet Sauvignon. The wine showed a huge nose of cigar box, licorice, coffee, mocha, caramel, plum, and currant, and in the mouth, fabulous concentration, plenty of glycerin, wonderful freshness, and superb delineation for a wine that is 35 years of age. A very long finish of close to 40 seconds is also impressive. Pristine bottles should continue to drink well for at least another decade."

Campbell Mattinson 95 points!"Delicious floral complexity. Mint, raspberry, violets, leather, laces of farm-floor and leather, kirsch and roses. Tremendously yummy, a wine you'd like to suck on all day."
