July 7, 2022 - Had a few Cimicky wines when in Aus some years ago, all were good and all typical of grape and area, big fruity nose on this a nd a big mouthful, no alcoholic overtones nicely balanced for a big wine and not overpriced as many wines in Australia are starting to be, I enjoyed this.

October 6, 2018 - Best wine I've had in a few months! Astounded at the age on this one and how jump-from-the-glass BIG it remains. Beautiful fruit, a ton of wood and smoke, all well balanced and as it should be. This will hold for a few more years, easily, but I think it's a very good time to drink these.

May 25, 2017 - WCC Australian Shiraz Blind (Home of Chef Andrew Plummer, East Greenbush, NY): Huge ripe stunningly expansive nose. Huge in the mouth, but with great balance. Sadly, my glass was marred by too much sediment.

December 22, 2016 - Reminiscent of the 2003 Henry's Drive Reserve, but more refined. Big, big, personality
