Swirls boldly in the glass, immensely satisfying and tapers to a click of briny acidity. I'd drink this in youth over age, but plenty left in the tank. Oh boy. Oh yes. Rated : 93 Points Winefront.com.au
... is looooong, with firm but fine tannins stretching out. Slow to open up and with a fantastic structure, this powerful wine needs a little sleep to begin to show the complexities that will develop with time. I think it will become a beauty! Great stuff Gavin Trott 

... savoury interplay with oak handled in its stride. Tannins are ripe, fine and disciplined. Ruggedly handsome yet frighteningly suave, this has the whole kit and caboodle going for it. 94 Excellent  Wine will eat itself

First and foremost, it’s a beautiful drink ... Tastes of tar and blackcurrant, dust and dried herbs. Almost a little sappy/spicyperfumed in the mouth. . Quite gorgeous. Rated : 91 Points The Winefront Campbell Mattinson

Composure, sensitivity and balance are the keys here. It’s almost dapper actually ...  Very persuasive all up, especially at the price.  Excellent Wine Will Eat Itself

The stunning Ébano Crianza is made from 100% Tempranillo, known locally as Tinto del Pais, with an average vine age of 20 years. It has a vibrant purple colour with intense fruit notes of ripe cherries, mulberries and raspberries. The wood is well integrated and keeps alive the earlier fruit as well as adding toasty aromas. Ébano 6 is made from 100% Tempranillo and spends 4 months in French oak. Great fruity structure, powerful finish.

Bright yellow-gold; the vast experience of De Bortoli with this style results in a wine with the rich, opulent and sweet fruit balanced by the acidity missing from lesser wines; cumquat, mandarin, honey and vanilla are all part of the package. 375 ml. Screwcap. Rating 95 James Halliday Learn More

Plenty of lavender, dried rosemary, hung game-meats, musk and white pepper. The palate is well weighted with plenty of texture and fruit flavour’s of ripe, plum, blackfruit’s, mulberry and cherry. As to be expected there are the rich savoury and spicy aspects that we love from this variety in abundance. Nutmeg, Dutch licorice and a great earthy weight. Ripe, chalky tannins wrap in to a long persistent finish.

Excellent vitality and drinkability. Blackberries, cranberries, sap and smoke. Has that ashen, meaty note so characteristic of cool vintages like 2002 and 2011. Has enough sweetness though to keep Barossa shiraz drinkers happy. Enough slurpy, smooth texture. Clovey, peppery, licoricey finish. Compact and complex. Great wine to hook into.

Exceptional cabernet from the Great Southern. So deep and dark in the glass. The aroma is pure concentrated cabernet essence showing such power and finesse. The palate has excellent structure with grainy tannins and fine grained oak supporting the opulent rich cabernet. Will keep on improving.  – 96 Points Ray Jordan. WA Wine Guide 2013
