96 Points, James Halliday, Halliday Wine Companion

"Hand-picked, 100% destemmed, fermented in a combination of puncheons and open vats, matured in French oak (12% new) for 21 months. Has the good colour of all the Michael Hall Shirazs in this vintage, and is the richest in terms of both structure and black fruit flavours. Black cherry and blackberry do the heavy lifting in a complete and very satisfying wine."
