Deep crimson. Fresh blackberry pastille, mulberry elderberry chinotto aromas with mocha, roasted chestnut aged notes with dried roses, sage her garden complexity. Beautifully balanced with voluminous blackberry, mulberry, elderberry roasted chestnut flavours, lovely fine-grained and loose-knit tannins, superb volume, and integrated acidity. Finishes firm and minerally long. A superb young wine and destined to become a classic vintage. 2028-2045. Score - 100. (Andrew Caillard, MW, The Vintage Journal, 2023)

Henschke has deemed the 2019 release 'a vintage graced by the nurturer', a reference to Prue Henschke's work in the vineyards and relentless pursuit of perfection in the viticultural field. I used to live on the property between Hill of Grace and Mount Edelstone and have seen first hand the hard work and love given to these vines, so hats off to the nurturer. Again, tiny yields in 2019, but it is a beautifully detailed, layered wine - as expected from these gnarled ancestor vines (160 years old). It's seamless with perfectly poised blackberry and dark berry fruits, five-spice, sage, softly spoken oak and the gentle tug of superfine, toothsome tannins. Lacy, mineral-laden acidity propels the wine forward and the finish is long, elegant and in perfect pitch. Grace by name, grace by nature. Drink from: [Now]. Drink by: 2073. Score - 99.

Full Vinolok-closed bottle just 1,232 g. 100% Shiraz from pre-phylloxera material brought from Europe in the mid 1800s and grown on the Henschke Hill of Grace vineyard managed with organic and biodynamic practices. Harvested 9-13 March. Matured in new (84% French, 16% American) oak hogsheads for 21 months prior to blending and bottling. Bottle-aged in the Henschke cellar for museum release. TA 6.1 g/l, pH 3.56. Deep shaded dark ruby. Wonderfully intense and complex nose. This wine just wraps itself around you! (And I haven't even tasted it yet.) Intense cocktail of prunes and something floral. Really rich. Luscious palate of gorgeously ripe fruit, just the right level of refreshing acidity with mineral top notes. Extremely rewarding with many layers. Very long indeed. When to drink: [Now]-2040. Score - 20 (out of 20). (jancisrobinson.com, March 27, 2024)

This 2014 Dimchurch Shiraz is decidedly lower in alcohol than the other wines on the table, clocking in at a very modest (for Chris) 15.5%. Interestingly, the alcohol is not a consideration or concern for Chris; he's going for vineyard characteristic, and the alcohol is just something that rolls out via the winemaking process. The barrels selected for the Dimchurch bottling really have to say something about the vineyard and the decision-making that Adrian went through to isolate that sector and decide about harvesting. What we want, and need, is for the dirt to shine through the wine. This shows the place and has notes of beetroot, black pudding, black peppercorns, clove, lamb fat and peppercorns. The alcohol, although it doesn't matter, does make this more approachable. It's a strikingly distinct wine. Drink date: 2022-2027. Score - 95. (Erin Larkin, robertparker.com, Sept. 15, 2022)

This Museum & Rare Collection release maintains a firm but fine backbone of polished tannins which, together with the youthful primary fruit (predominantly black), brings potency and great presence to the palate. Sage, winter greens and underripe strawberry lend nuance and freshness. There is subtle viscosity too, with tertiary tapenade character and nutty, savoury oak. But there's plenty of mileage here too, with mouth-coating tannins and cleansing acidity to the finish. Drinking window: 2024-2043. Score - 97. (Sarah Ahmed, decanter.com, March 27, 2024)

For long an Australian icon, this has really lightened up its act. For the better. The sort of exotic perfume-lifted lilac floral-seldom seen across shiraz from such a warm zone. Pulpy and juicy in the mouth, rather than over-extracted and desiccated. A beautiful sash of oak, directing a cavalcade of clove, five spice and ample blue to dark fruit references along a skein of peppery acidity. Riveting complexity and the feeling of something far lighter than the ABV suggests. This is a thrilling wine. There are no two ways about it. Drink by 2033. Special Value. Score - 97.

Medium-deep crimson. Intense blackberry, mulberry praline aromas with mocha sage her garden notes. Superbly concentrated wine with deep set pure blackberry, dark plum, mulberry fruits, fine slinky tannins, attractive mid-palate richness and underlying mocha, vanilla notes. Finishes firm with chinotto, hint marzipan notes. Superb mineral length, vigour and extract. 2025-2040. Score - 99. (Andrew Caillard, MW, The Vintage Journal, 2023)

It's a pleasure to spend time with Tom Cullity. This is all about refinement. It has a presence and a whole lot of detail. The fruit savoury and sweet, the iodine and graphite character of the malbec infused into the DNA. There are also finely chiselled tannins, lively acidity and a length like no tomorrow. Sure there's a power and energy, but the wine's defining feature is elegance. Drink by: 2036. Score - 97. (Jane Faulkner, winecompanion.com.au, Aug. 1, 2020)

A particularly generous and forthcoming wine, with blackberry and plum driving the immediate response, the luscious bouquet quickly followed by the intense palate before a second response of elegance and finesse flows from wonderfully crafted tannins. Drink to 2039. Score - 97. (James Halliday, Weekend Australian Magazine, March 30, 2024)
