95 Points Huon Hooke The Real Review

Very deep, dark, saturated red/purple with blackish depths which stain the glass. The bouquet is broodingly deep and mysterious, smoky-char and earth-bound characters, and black fruits galore, black olive and tapenade too. The palate has great depth and texture, the tannins fleshy and coating, but balanced. It has a big future if cellared. An outstanding value shiraz, very Barossa and very shiraz.

92 Points Dave Brookes, Halliday Wine Companion 

Shiraz sourced from the Filsell, Cameron Vale, Materne, Stansborough and Colin Burge vineyards, aged for 18 months in a mix of old and new French and American oak. Consistency and inherent drinking enjoyment has long been a trademark of the Burge wines. Here, there is flesh and sinew, fruits dark and black, layers of spice and tones of earth, deep spice and chocolate, with fine firm tannins and a dark savoury sheen on the finish.

90 Points Decanter World Wine Awards 

Toasty and plummy nose. Good, well structured palate with plush tannins, bright cassis, bramble fruit and warm baking spices. Eminently drinkable.

Highly Rated Wine Enthusiast

This is an old-school, oak-driven Shiraz, with prominent notes of chocolate and furniture polish amid ripe, plummy fruit. The acidity is surprisingly fresh after such a rich nose, saving the wine from stewed-fruit territory.
