An excellent wine brought to the BYO Indian Restaurant in Cairns. Close to the WOTN, thanks Lindsay. Coriole’s Lloyd Shiraz has always been a rich wonderful full bodied expression of old vine McLaren Vale fruit. Red and black fruits with chocolate and supple fluid tannins. From an excellent vintage. Great stuff. — 5 years ago
Vanila, and plum nose with hint of french oak. Silky tannin with 8/10 acidity. Full body and pretty dry. Long finish. Very well balanced. Really love it. — 7 years ago

They're onto the 12' now and it's a completely different wine within the exact same bracket. Portion of new oak potentially? Seriously extensive lees time. Chlorine / saline, sea salt, pineapple, chamomile tea leaves. Really no definitive fruit character what so ever apart from the occasional waft of pineapple. Broad through the mid palate, would love a tiny bit more of a finish. Interesting wine to serve up at a blind tasting. Probably ever so slightly prefer the 10'. Give me a little more acid. — 9 years ago
Like this; open initial opening it drew comparisons with Chianti for sure. Damp leather, walnuts, dark cherry, liquorice and cedar. — 10 years ago
Still has that dried florals and spice from the sang fronted with a sour raspberry cream character. Fresh and zippy — 11 years ago

Ripe but not jammy, full bodied, beautiful ropey tannin, great fruit. Haven't had many Mclaren vale cab sav and this nails it. — 10 years ago

Deep dark fruit in a smooth silky package. — 5 years ago
Improving nicely with bottle age — 8 years ago

Interesting concept here with this range. Same vinification, same vineyards but different aspects. The old house shows far greater depth, aroma and flavour intensity. Rich, earthy, broad and giving — 9 years ago
Looking stunning in '15 — 10 years ago
