James Halliday - 96 points
Includes 3% co-fermented viognier, hand-picked, destemmed, wild-fermented in open 5-tonne pots, basket-pressed to used French barriques for 20 months. A (probably intended exercise comparing the outcome of oak selection) less dense wine, the fruit more obvious thanks to co-fermentation and no new oak. It's still formidable, but moves around the mouth with greater freedom, with an easier texture.
Ray Jordan - 95 points
This Barossa Shiraz gets a three per cent addition of Viognier which plays its role perfectly, adding spicy aromatics to the intense primary fruit characters of the Shiraz. Floral and ever so slightly minty with a plummy, violet aroma. The palate has plenty of tannin support which will come from the co-fermentation of these varieties. The oak is not a major influence on the finished character apart from contributing to its texture and palate feel.
