Tyson Stelzer 97 Points!"Tim Adam's 21st Aberfeldy is the best wine this talented man has ever made. More than this, it is one of the finest red wines to bear the great name of the Clare Valley in the modern era. This is a stonking Aberfeldy that captures the depth and magnificence of an epic season, layered with all the savoury complexity that Tim Adams masterfully coaxes out of his beloved Clare. Its depth of succulent black plum, black cherry and blackberry fruit is tremendous, mesmerising, alluring. 100% new American oak dissolves into its generous folds in nuances of high cocoa dark chocolate. Fruit line and precision are rapturous and enduring, laced together with finely structured, well poised tannins. It will probably live very long, but I dare you to keep your hands off it."

Gary Walsh 95 Points!"A venerable vineyard established by the Birks back in 1904. Ahhh, the old velvet fog strikes again. Black and red fruit, spices, sage, mocha and vanilla " perfect integration of fruit and oak " a wine in fine voice. Medium to full bodied, silky smooth and supple, chocolate and berries mixed with toast and earthen flavours. Superb length. Pitch perfect. Luxurious to drink now, with cellar time no problem either. Suspect it's the best Aberfeldy yet."

Ralph Kyte-Powell - Wine of the Week!"This top-notch Clare Valley Shiraz is made in the time-honoured, hearty regional style. It's not too butch though, and 24 months in oak hasn't impacted its concentrated core of fruit unduly, with the result that all is in harmony. A nose of ink, blackberries, mocha and spice offers true regional accents, and the velvety palate relies on lovely depth and length of flavour, ahead of ripe tannins in excellent balance."
