5/14/2022 - sjw_11 Likes this wine: 95 pointsI went looking for the specific blend of this vintage but it seems Yalumba will give you the precise % of each type of oak used but keeps secret the proportions of Cab and Shiraz. Terrible cork that crumbled away, but once the wine was out it was clear it had at least done its job and the wine itself was terrific. Rich stewed plum. Fruit pudding. Classic Barossa character. Gathers weight and intensity with air. Right in its drinking window now but might fractionally improve over a couple of years and should hold for 10 in a good cellar. |

9/4/2023 - JulianSkeels wrote: 94 pointsVery strong and pure mocha and mint nose. Great density and richness with both Cabernet and Shiraz clearly coming through (and both are very broad and good quality). Nice long minty finish which provides freshness given the lack of acidity. Excellent and highly underrated wine. Oak is a little drying though. Improves with 30mins in the glass. No hurry here - drink to 2030 easily. 94pts |

11/21/2021 - empire80 Likes this wine: 93 pointsCork crumbled but wine fully intact. Plenty of black fruit still evident, with a bit of fresh redcurrant. Very full in the mouth, plenty of secondary development, some spice and herbs, this is a great package at its peak, and really good VFM. |

7/4/2009 - mattwoolley wrote: 92 pointsBetter than an 04 I had recently. Enticing nose - blackberry, plum, blackcurrant; delicious spices with aniseed, cloves and a gentle mintiness; a touch of herbs and the first hints of cedar round it out. Powerhouse palate, yet keeps everything in balance. Big smack of coffee and dark chocolate on entry, blueberry and black fruits framed with impressive tannins, more aniseed and lipsmacking mocha finish. Not normally a great fan of Yalumba but this is good. Finish sails on. Can only get better. 92+ |

2/15/2010 - Outwide wrote: 92 pointsA really really good drop. Drank with a few other 05 SA / WA Shiraz and Shiraz / Cabs and it blew them all away. Great nose of sweet ripe fruit with smooth oak. Dark Purple in colour and very pleasant, fruity palate that lingers for ages. I am off to buy some more! |

De la première coupe à la dernière, il n'y a pas d'équivoque et son profil ne se déments pas. Bu avec un Osso Bucco et légumes braisés. Je le recommande des maintenant mais j'ose croire qu'avec encore quelques années en cellier il serait encore plus surprenant. |

2/13/2013 - burgburgburg Likes this wine: 92 pointsallowed three hours bottle breath uncorked; a muscular man in bouquet and a elegant lady in palate; strong, a little bit alcohol indeed, and pronounced black fruits, mint, spicy and vanilla in aroma; powerful but charming; textured but simple palate; dissolved tannin with delicious acidity in finish; a very balanced wine now; can enjoy alone without fruit; good to drink now or cellar for 2-3 more years |

9/3/2011 - Pebben wrote: 91 pointsDecanted for one hour before tasting. Dark inky red core, slightly lighter rim. Huge nose; blackberries, dark plums, toffee, spices, a hint of eucalyptus and a little charred wood. The sweet fruit carries through onto the palate where it integrates nicely with the oak in an impressive display of flavour concentration. Fortunately there’s enough acidity and tannic bite to balance out the opulent fruit. Smooth and viscous with a lengthy and slightly bitter finish. A blockbuster wine – certainly not a style that accounts for a large proportion of my consuption, but sometimes this is just the kind of wine I want and yesterday was one of those days. |

10/18/2010 - Maestro wrote: 90 pointsI do like the way Yalumba balances Cabernet Sauvginon and Shiraz in its "The Signature" bottling, and the 2005 is a successful vintage. Big, bold, and aromatic, and yet sufficiently balanced to avoid being an all-out fruit bomb. Black peper, cassis, cedar, and red fruit drive the aromatics and the wine has a long life ahead. From 2011 until 2017+. |
