| | Tasted by Wolffy on 2/5/2021 & rated 90 points: Needs to cellared at least until this age. Still powerful & kicking you in the taste buds. Smoothed out and big round mouth feel now. Tannin just in the sweet spot. (852 views) |
| | Tasted by Wolffy on 6/10/2020 & rated 90 points: Still going strong and plenty of time to go. (905 views) |
| | Tasted by Wolffy on 6/16/2019 & rated 90 points: Needs a bit more time, but still as expected - never disappoints. (1059 views) |
| | Tasted by RieslingFanatic on 6/11/2019 & rated 87 points: Good wine, without reaching any great heights. Dark forest berries, plums, subtle spices, an earthy hint and smooth integrated tannins. A little mono-dimensional for me. (1128 views) |
| | Tasted by GAT on 7/27/2017 & rated 90 points: Lovely wine, rich and syrupy, excellent nose and lengthy, balanced palate. Shame to swallow it... (1790 views) |
| | Tasted by CamWheeler on 4/1/2017 & rated 88 points: GMs - The Blending Sessions: Blackcurrant, graphite, pepper and some undergrowth. Ramped up sweetness on the palate, the savoury and spice notes on the nose don't follow through. The palate is distinctly Barossan in style. (1816 views) |

| | Tasted by Avid Wino on 8/28/2016 & rated 91 points: Pleasure in a bottle. Ripe fruits and chocolate and probably a lot more going on but what matters here is the joy, the sensual pleasure, the ecstasy. Superb. (1168 views) |
| | Tasted by GAT on 7/12/2016 & rated 90 points: Very approachable, full bodied, acid balanced wine. (769 views) |
| | Tasted by Bouddi26 on 3/22/2016 & rated 91 points: Deep and dense red/purple colour. Fresh almost sharpe nose with a feelling of high alcohol. Rich dark fruit that fills the mouth early but does revert to a dry tannin finish. This wine needs breathing so it can relax and mellow. Definitely a favourite of mine, reliable and good value.

| | Tasted by Bouddi26 on 3/17/2016 & rated 92 points: Deep red/purple in colour. Spicy red nose. Big soft red with a lingering long finish. Maybe this wine is not complex but it has a big soft mouthfeel that is warm and comfortable. Good value. (760 views) |
| | Tasted by Bouddi26 on 1/4/2016 & rated 91 points: Dense and dark red/purple colour. Strong fruit nose. Big and rich fruit on the palate. A big young Barossa red that is great value. Please decant and allow to breath to reward the patient. (931 views) |
| | Tasted by lukeymuffler on 10/28/2015 & rated 89 points: Such a consistent performer. Another very enjoyable riebke, harnessing fruit and density which betray it's price tag. Deep dark fruits abound, a slight echo of oak. This label is becoming a bit of a go to in the sub 20 dollar price range. (816 views) |
