"First sign of color development;two years in oak has softened the wine without in any way diminishing its length, nor the persistence of its earthy, black fruit flavours; excellent finish and aftertaste. Rating 95 James Halliday AWC 2011"

Skillogalee
2008 Riesling (Single Vineyard): "The leading wine from one of the most fast-paced improvers on the Australian scene is built around first class fruit. Its lifted apple blossom bouquet is pure and refined, introducing a crunchy apple palate of fine, tight minerality and
brilliant balance and length." 94 POINTS
Tyson Stelzer, Australia's Wine Business Magazine (WBM), December 2008
2005 Shiraz: "This was sourced from dry-grown vines yielding a tiny 1.6 tons of fruit per acre. It was then aged for 24 months in French and American oak hogsheads. Dark ruby colour, it exhibits an enticing perfume of smoke, meat, game, and blueberry. On the palate it has an elegant personality with plenty of savoury, spicy black fruit, excellent integration, and several years of potential evolution." 90 POINTS
