Description

Full-throttle Shiraz are fashioned from vineyards owned by the Longbottom family. This is an unabashed, flamboyant, Aussie wine that is loaded with fruit, fragrance, glycerin, and intensity. This is the type of wine that Eurocentric wine tasters and condescending elitists tend to dismiss, but it is a fascinating effort the likes of which are made nowhere else in the world. There is certainly no shortage of flavor, and if you like your wines exuberant, flamboyant, and over-sized, this wine fills the tab, and then some.

The Wine Advocate

The 2003 Shiraz Reserve, which I assume is made from the richest barrels, has all the same characteristics of the regular bottling, with more weight, opulence, and persistence. The 16% alcohol is beautifully concealed by its prodigious concentration. For those who love extroverted personalities of wild and crazy Australian reds.

WA, Robert Parker Jr. Issue: #161 95/100


91/100 Wine Spectator

Big, muscular style has ultra ripe cherry and dusky spice flavours, finishing with flavours of rare meat and pepper. A brawny wine that's also a bit hot.

WS, Harvey Steiman Issue: Sep 30 2005


90/100 Wine Companion

Powerful blackberry, liquorice and dark chocolate fruit; fractionally sharp tannins; will evolve.

James Halliday Issue: Oct 2004
