Jon Steeves rated this wine as 89/100 with the following review:

Wow. Love this Australian Shiraz. Loads of flavour with prominent anise, sage, strawberry, plum and spice with a hint of briny black olive. Medium bodied, medium acidity, well-balanced. Long finish with persistence or red berry, savoury sage and anise. Pair this red beauty with crustini and black olive tapenade, or a crispy baked chicken cordon bleu. Tasted Jan 2017. Rated 89/100.

Monique Sosa rated this wine as 89/100 with the following review:

Bold, flavourful and a great bargain! The nose shows mild floral, spice and berry notes while the palate screams ripe black plum, vanilla bean, anise and candied minty flavours. Enjoy this full-bodied, juicy, smooth Shiraz with pan seared rib-eye. Tasted Jan 2015 - @sommsosa | bespoketastings.a

Natalie's Review

Small Gully Mr. Black's Little Book Shiraz 2014, Barossa Valley, South Australia, Australia: I love a little black book reading with a sympathetic robust red wine that has a big vocabulary when it comes to aromas and flavours, like this one! Rich and full-bodied with fleshy ripe blackberry, mint and black olive aromas on the nose. Layers and smooth, with polished tannins and a long finish. Terrific mouth-watering juiciness. You put on the jazz music and I'll pour the wine, deal? Drink: 2014-2020. 287979 15% XD 750 mL $20.95 Score: 90/100. February 7, 2017 Best Value Red Wine. Harmonious Hard Cheese Wine Full Review

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.
