| | Tasted by justmill on 12/25/2014 & rated 88 points: Very similar to the last bottle opening 2 years ago. Heavy blackberry nose. Smoke and tobacco jump out of the glass. Fruit is strong, just enough to stand up to it all. Finish is a bit bitter. (1170 views) |

| | Tasted by wfdeacon on 10/31/2012 & rated 91 points: Dark ruby with purple tinge. Dark ripe fruit, smoke, grilled meat, floral highlights. Sweet black fruit, big but not overly sappy. Solid and not overdone for the region. (1656 views) |
| | Tasted by Colia on 8/20/2012 & rated 91 points: the fruit was really ripe and beautiful, the body was generous and the finish sweet. There wasn't much in the way of complexity, but what was there was perfect. (1510 views) |
| | Tasted by webbaker on 8/9/2012 & rated 90 points: Consistent notes, nice rich fruit flavors, smoked meat, typical aussie shiraz, but perhaps getting a little past its prime. Drink up. (1358 views) |
| | Tasted by noni15 on 4/16/2012: 8/10 (1573 views) |
| | Tasted by jpasmore on 4/1/2012 & rated 89 points: Could easily be 90 depending on what you like. Really good, maybe a bit too accessible for some, hides nothing, good fruit, bit sweet, very approachable crowd pleaser kind of wine with enough of a distinctive taste and style that you know some thought went into the making of. I am ordering a couple of more bottles. (1754 views) |
| | Tasted by Siborg on 2/27/2012 & rated 91 points: - Violet color with slow forming legs. It's balanced with a medium body. Round texture with a medium finish - Really smooth and balanced (1735 views) |
| | Tasted by Primordialsoup on 1/27/2012 & rated 89 points: PnP. Nice full Aussie Shiraz. Good fruit nose and powerful on the palate. Thick with some alcohol- subtly tequila like (must be those agave plants they grow in Oz). Enjoyed it for what it is. (1785 views) |
| | Tasted by 3daywinereview.com on 1/14/2012 & rated 90 points: Sorella In-store Tasting (Minneapolis): Floral, blueberries, cedar, underbrush and blackberries. For $25 not a bad buy. Drink now to five plus years. (2347 views) |
| | Tasted by dlstrauss on 1/8/2012 & rated 91 points: same as last note (1831 views) |
| | Tasted by Awilcox on 1/2/2012 & rated 92 points: opened and poured through the venturi, leather, pepper and dark berries on the nose, deep dark rich color, medium legs, almost silky texture, smooth dark fruit. Less pepper in the mouth than I'd have liked but nonetheless a really delightful wine. I agree with Ksnj (1852 views) |
| | Tasted by Matt T on 12/17/2011 & rated 88 points: Pleasant, full-bodied with quite a bit of dark chocolate, cherries, and vanilla. This bottle lacked the acid, tannin, and complexity of the 2005 and 2004 versions of this wine. I am not sure if there was a conscious choice to dumb down this wine, if there is a new winemaker at Kilikanoon, or if this was just an off year. (2037 views) |
| | Tasted by dlstrauss on 11/15/2011 & rated 91 points: A very nice shiraz for $25. With more time in the bottle, or even open, this gets a higher score. (2061 views) |
