Monique Sosa rated this wine as 90/100 with the following review:

Here we have a bold expression of Barossa Valley Shiraz. This wine pours with an opaque appearance and an inky ruby red hue. The nose is pristine with pronounced notes of cassis, black plum, eucalyptus, leather and all spice. The palate is delectable! Ripe and red berry fruit, baking spice, mint, vanilla bean, tobacco leaf are the top flavours but as the wine opens up, much more nuances are revealed. This wine is full bodied with silky smooth tannins, high acidity (balanced), tremendous fruit concentration and a long minty cocoa finish. Enjoyed braised beef or a rack of lamb roast. Tasted May 2016

Unquenchable by Natalie MacLean

Natalie MacLean is a new force in the wine writing world ‐ a feisty North American answer to Hugh Johnson and Jancis Robinson. She can write beautifully about wine.

The Financial Times of London

There are very few people in the wine world who "get it" and Natalie is one of those who brings more fun to a buttoned-up and stodgy game.
