JM 1ST APPROACH

Light but bright colour; how much the wine owes to winemaker Peter Schell's skills and how much to the (old) vines doesn't matter, for the wine has great vibrancy and energy to the red berry fruits of its grenache/cinsaut blend. 92 points James Halliday

... deep, alluring and well-defined black cherry and sweet black plum and blackberry fruits, nuanced with cola, liquorice and high cocoa dark chocolate." 95 points, Tyson Stelzer, Wine Taste Weekly
...  I can’t think of too many I’d reach for ahead of this ...  This wine feels fine on the tongue but it doesn’t lack fruit. Beautifully well balanced. Complex. And long. Gold medal standard. 94 points Winefront
Pete Schell's 2010 reds exemplify the cutting edge of the modern Barossa style - exotic spice interwoven with polished black fruits of controlled magnitude and captivating textural structure. This skilfully fuses brittle mataro to a fleshy core of shiraz. Rating: 5 out of 5 stars 'Top class' Taste Top 100 wines

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.

96 Points - James Halliday - Seppeltsfield DP90 Rare Tawny has reigned supreme on the Australian wine show circuit for over 30 years and as the most awarded wine of any style is rightfully regarded as the benchmark Australian Tawny. Fruit from extremely low yielding Barossa Valley vines is given extended maturation in small oak casks at Seppeltsfield in the Barossa Valley before careful blending to create a wine with incomparable levels of finesse, complexity and length.

Deep rich red in colour: the nose is typical of Barossa Shiraz, showing dark plums and chocolate, with attractive sweet cedar notes and a hint of black pepper. The palate has a good depth of dark berry flavours with a touch of savoury fruits and a good tannin structure in harmonious balance to the fruit. Learn More

Delicious aromas of guava with an aromatic grapey musk perfume. A mere 6.5% alcohol, delicately sweet with a gentle spritz. Incredibly refreshing and light bodied with lively exotic tropical fruit flavours and a hint of musk and rose petal. Learn More

Full purple-crimson; if depth and power of flavour are the sole criterion of quality, this shiraz would get 100 points; the flavours, too, are very good indeed, the only point of criticism is the somewhat thick texture. Will cellar very well, and is an outrageously priced bargain. 94 points James Halliday

The ripe, spicy nose is laced with hints of apricots, Christmas cake and an underlying savoury edge. The palate is full of flavour and displays vivid red fruits supported by racy acidity, ensuring the palate finishes light.
