"Seeing 16 months in French oak, 75% of which was new, the deep garnet-purple colored 2012 RWT Barossa Valley Shiraz opens to a ripe, blue fruit nose with crushed plums, blackberries and blueberries plus touches of bay leaf and some loam. This full-bodied beauty explodes in the mouth with youthful blackberry character, very fresh and vibrant acidity and a lovely toasty nuance coming from the complimentary oak notes. The long finish is fresh and fine. 94 Points/Drink 2015-2025" - Lisa Perrotti-Brown, Wine Advocate
"This release is all seductive folds of flavour. Textbook. Brilliant fruit, firm threads of tannin, an exaggerated linger of sweet flavour. Barossa shiraz in all its glory. Kirsch, chocolate, woodsmoke, gum leaf, roasted nuts and sweet, honeyed meats. Oak and fruit slide hand in glove. Everything feels carefully stitched and yet both generosity and luxury are its unashamed hallmarks. 95 Points/Drink 2018-2030+" - Campbell Mattinson, Wine Front
