Reviews and Ratings

Perry rated this wine as 95/100
Jane Staples - Certified Sommelier rated this wine as 93/100 with the following review:

This seductive Barossa Valley, South Australia Shiraz gives beautiful blackberry, raspberry and vanilla fragrances leading to an intensely flavoured palate with lots of dark berry, mint, spice and vanilla. Dry and silky smooth with elegant finish. Terrific gift wine.
Tasted Nov. 2016
In 1985, BVE was formed from a collective of 80 top grape growers from third and fourth generation in the Barossa Valley. The E&E is a cult favourite, which many wine lovers buy year after year for comparison and to have complete verticals of the range (wines from each year) in their cellars. - Community Wine Reviews
