Jeremy Oliver 93 points!" Fine, elegant and very dry, this firm and savoury wine has a musky fragrance of cloves, cinnamon, nutmeg and fragrant rosemary, overlying intense raspberry flavours and charcuterie complexity. Long and finely integrated, with powdery tannins."
Jeremy Oliver, OnWine
Robert Parker 93 points!" A stunning effort is the 1998 The Factor. This 100% Shiraz cuvee of 240 cases is made from 50-130-year old vines. No new oak is used, although some of the press wine does see new American oak. Supple, with a telltale, ostentatious bouquet of black fruits intermixed with smoke, licorice, and melted asphalt, this super-extracted, velvety-textured, sumptuous, pure, rich, impeccably well-balanced Shiraz is best consumed during its first decade of life. This wine not only makes for compelling drinking, but it is also a huge amount of fun, and isn't that what it's all about? If I had to give an award to Australia's finest winemaker in 2001, it would be hard not to consider David Powell."
