"Centenary Hill has had a makeover – Jacobs Creek is gone and Orlando is back and it has delivered a classic expression of Barossa Shiraz, as you’d expect. This is a crowd-pleasing Barossan from start to finish which is hearty, flavoursome and hard to put down. The wine is deeply coloured and flavoured with ripe mocha, mulberry and baked earth fruit aromas well supported by new toasty oak. It is then ripe and chewy with firm tannins, matched with layers of ripe, licorice scented fruit. The overriding impression is balance – all the pieces sit well together in a bold style. Yes it will age well, very well, and is a bit of a sleeper, but is also a great drink right now."

"Intense, elegant shiraz with masses of dark berry, vanilla, wood-smoke, chocolate-mocha, five-spice and French oak flavours. Moderately astringent but nicely balanced with fruit and alcohol sweetness. A seriously good shiraz with great cellaring potential."

"Deep, youthful red/purple colour, with a bright, bold aroma of melted dark chocolate, spices and peppery traces, deep savoury flavour and a lingering finish. Liberal oak and a subtle overtone of humus. It's certainly full-bodied, solid and dense. The tannins are lavish yet supple and ripe. A big, generous wine, with excellent cellaring potential."

"Centenary Hill comes back to the Orlando banner, as opposed to the Jacob’s Creek banner. The new Orlando label/logo doesn’t scream premium, to my eyes, but the market will decide. Interestingly, this saw both 50% whole bunches and a portion of new American oak, and that’s not a winemaking combination you see everyday. Dense black berried fruit flavour, toast, coconut, dark earth and malt. It’s a substantial red wine, ‘traditional’, ripped with dry, integrated tannin, wrapped in black licorice, licked perhaps with pepper. It’s bold and warm but the texture, tannin and fruit intensity here are all elite."

"Slippery, intense, slick and long. Peppery spice, rich, dark berry fruitiness, cocoa powder and anise. A generous wine that feels well kept, delivering some softening with age, but still finding vitality and poise – feels righteous in its style. Wonderful texture, actually, a glide here. Heft and grace."

"It’s a big, brawny red made with lashings of oak input imparting an overlay of coconut, caramel and toffee to a core of ripe berry fruit. All that charry wood makes its presence felt on the palate too, which is full-bodied, ripe-flavoured and lingering. Layered tannins are in excellent balance and it finishes warm and long. Already five years old, this is a shiraz that ideally needs another five years to mellow and integrate further."

"This is in new livery, but remains a traditional-styled shiraz with plenty of cedary and spicy oak, some light leathery nuances and bold ripe blackberries. The palate has rich and smooth tannins that are bathed in sweet, ripe blackberry flavors and laced with vanilla spice. Tirage has brought this all together nicely. Old-school style here. Drink or hold. Screw cap."
