Campbell Mattinson 97 points!'When I was writing about this Penfolds RWT Shiraz 2005 in the first edition of the Big Red Wine Book I called it 'seductive, but not at all tarty'. Re-tasting it now I can see what I meant. It's a luscious, sweet-centred, bold wine, jammed full of blueberried fruit and clipped with toasty, cedary, creamy oak. This too is fragrant and full, its violetty aromatics and power through the finish clear signals of its outstanding quality. This is a champion wine, for the long haul.'
Campbell Mattinson, The Wine Front, May 2008
Jeremy Oliver 96 points!'A joyful, vibrant and supple shiraz whose open and uncomplicated expression of pristine blackberry, cassis and plum-like flavour is lifted by a spicy perfume and the handsome mocha and vanilla presence of new fine-grained French oak. Juicy without being jammy, it's smooth and approachable, with a finely crafted, willowy backbone of velvet tannin.'
