"A more restrained, lighter-structured Balmoral, whose sweet and spicy cassis fruit is married with coffee, vanilla American oak into a supple, sappy wine of intensity and generosity. There's a cooked element to the fruit, typical of the 1997 McLaren Vale vintage. Drink 2002-2005."
Jeremy Oliver, OnWine.
"The dense ruby/purple-colored 1997 Syrah Balmoral exhibits smoke, blackberry, licorice, and oak aromas, full body, sweet tannin, and a long finish. Drink 2001-2009.

"Tight mulberry fruit, hints of mint and some lovely toasty spice form a fine marriage with the elegant palate that is solid in structure and length. The integration of oak forms some classic and complex layers.
