Critic Scores

95 // James Halliday's Wine Companion

"95pts Dave Brookes (Halliday Wine Companion): “Shiraz sourced from the Materne family vineyard in Greenock; matured in a 3000L French oak vat and puncheons. XXXX & XXXX have been in fine form lately and this shiraz from the western Barossa is on song. It's got a real ferrous, meaty edge this year which is really appealing. Fruit all pure plum, blackberry and black cherry with hints of dried herbs, roasting game meats, earth, olive tapenade, wood spice and pressed flowers. Powdered, sandy tannins, fine, lacy acidity and a core of fruit that travels long and true on the finish.”"

95 // Q WINE

"Dried violets and purple flowers, baked blueberries and mulberries - the opening is fragrant and oh-so inviting.The shape and weight are guided by the 13.6% alcohol and the flow it delivers is blisteringly good. Davidson plums, blue and purple fruits mingle with melted chocolate, black earth, twigs and floral tea. Juicy and devilishly moreish, it moves and sways about with supreme ease. The longer it sits, the more detail comes to the fore. Char, pan juices and cola cling to a captivating finish brushed with delicate spices. A long, moreish length oozes class. Brilliant stuff. Drink to ten years+"

93 // Campbell Mattinson

"The 2023 season was both cool and late by modern Barossa Valley standards, the red grapes on average picked two weeks later than the historically cool 2002 vintage, for instance. The season translates here into an elegant-but-well-fruited wine with juicy blue- and black-berried flavours woven through with twigs, spice, woodsmoke and graphite. There’s a floral prettiness evident both on the nose and in the mouth, which is part of why this wine comes across as so more-ish, though the ripe sweetness of the fruit is a key element too. That said, there’s a decent churn of grainy tannin here, so that in the end this wine feels firm and commanding."
