Andrew Bernardo rated this wine as 96/100 with the following review:

Loving what Chapoutier is doing in Oz both with his Terlato partnership and his own affair in Victoria. Pure hermitage qualities, with blueberries, huckleberry, hung meat, pepper, warm spice, liquid mineral, and graphite. 96 Points. (ottawawinejournal.com)
Matt Fowler rated this wine as 93/100 with the following review:

Chapoutier takes his skills in the Rhone Valley and puts them to good use in the land down under, as this is not your typical jammy Aussie Shiraz. I decanted this wine for an hour and drank it over three hours. Dark ruby in colour. Black fruit on the nose, mostly blueberries. Also cinnamon spice and gamey notes. A complex wine that evolved throughout the night. Great structure and balanced. Long finish of dark fruit! Drink 2013-2017.

Unquenchable by Natalie MacLean

Natalie MacLean is a new force in the wine writing world ‐ a feisty North American answer to Hugh Johnson and Jancis Robinson. She can write beautifully about wine.

The Financial Times of London

There are very few people in the wine world who "get it" and Natalie is one of those who brings more fun to a buttoned-up and stodgy game.
