| | Tasted by GD77 on 4/22/2021 & rated 89 points: A little bit passed it now although the sweet jammy fruit worked well with some acid based hunter valley shiraz, in a blend. Would have been fine with the right food. (316 views) |

| | Tasted by kwattro on 6/27/2012 & rated 92 points: what a difference a couple of years has made, the wine is more subdue, mellow. the vanilla fragrance is replaced by rich dark cherry. Palate is fruity, lighter body, velvety mouth feel with rich dark chocolate finish. It was good to drink then, it's much better drinking it now. (3408 views) |
| | Tasted by Gritty on 9/16/2011 & rated 80 points: This was a fruit bomb but a year later has lost its 'jamminess', leaving the wine quite plain. If you have any, drink them now. (4242 views) |

| | Tasted by JustinMcDonald on 11/7/2010: I think this wine represents the changes in my own palette. What it is is a ripe juicy Barossa Shiraz at a $20ish price. Bright red in colour, strong fruit on the nose, berry, plum, a little chocolate and oak on nose. Big fruit on the palette, perhaps a little sweet with good length. I think I will pass on this moving forward, good entry level Barossa, 18 months I was enjoying the fruit bomb thing, but have moved back towards the either the dirty Hunter style or cooler climate gear of late. Good entry wine and worth the experiment. (4740 views) |

| | Tasted by kdm on 1/27/2010 & rated 89 points: Plum and chocolate nose and palate with some oak nicely hidden by the big fruit. Touch of sweetness on the palate which I don't like, otherwise very nice. (2941 views) |
