Very nice. Was the manager's choice, and rightly so! Smooth :)

Great choice of Shiraz to slow cook lamb shanks in. Took them to the next level.

Great value, reminds me of pepperjack, but maybe fractionally better

Pretty good. Good enough for me to take a photo. I think it was plummy and savoury.

Spiced fruit cake to the nose, very slightly velvety, and a good balance of acidity. Love the contrast of the sweet dessert like nose to the crisp palate.

Exceptional Barossa Shiraz but you do need to decant it for an hour or so. Inky black with red rim. Rich plums and red and black berry fruits with chocolate and the smell of a forest after rain when the sun started heating the ground. Velvety tannins and natural fruit acids. Moderately long finish. This wine outperforms its price class. One of the best shirazes I've ever tasted so far.

Nice to drink a wine in your own name. Trying not to be bias tho, I think this is a really tasty Shiraz. Very good value for money in my opinion

Nice Drop. From Dan Murphys. Recommend it. Companion quote - I could swim in it

Good value, weight and fruit. Should have waited a couple years to pop, but still enjoyed it
