WE8787 pts. - Wine Enthusiast - 9/1/2020 Despite being a near even split of Grenache, Shiraz and Mourvèdre, it’s the former that shines, billowing notes of flowers, tangy raspberries and black cherries followed by something meaty, savory and spicy and towing heavy-set cola scented oak. The palate feels a little overworked, lacking some freshness — the mouthfeel is rich and broad with ripe red and black fruit, chunky, savory tannins and oak, but it’s saved at the last minute by an appealing lift of tangy fruit.
RP9090 pts. - Robert Parker’s The Wine Advocate - 26th Feb 2021 Made in the same full-on style that proprietor Bruno Tait has been pursuing since its first vintage in 2001, Tait’s 2017 The Ball Buster Proprietary Red is a blend of 77% Shiraz, 15% Cabernet Sauvignon and 8% Merlot. Mint and baking spices lead the way, backed by a big mouthful of blackberries and black cherries. Full-bodied yet supple, it’s spicy and rich, with lingering notes of mixed berries and spice on the finish. Despite weighing in at 15.9% alcohol on the label, it doesn’t seem hot or overripe — an achievement in itself, but past vertical tastings suggest that this wine can develop nicely for a decade or more.
RP9696 pts. - Robert Parker’s The Wine Advocate - 15th Aug 2003 The debut release from proprietor Carl Lindner, this 2001 is produced from 150-year old Shiraz vines, and aged in 100% new American oak. This sensational effort boasts a saturated inky/purple color in addition to aromas of roasted scorched earth intermingled with blackberry liqueur, new saddle leather, and spice box. Dense, full-bodied, thick, and viscous, this incredible old vine Shiraz should drink well young, yet last for two decades. Drink 2003–2023.
RP91+91–93 pts. - Robert Parker’s The Wine Advocate - 31st Oct 2005 The 2004 Shiraz 11th Hour is a blend of fruit from a 60-year-old Greenock vineyard (60%) and a 90-year-old vineyard in Nuriootpa (40%). It was aged 18 months in used French oak. Its dense ruby/purple color is followed by aromas of peppery black currants, roasted meats, new saddle leather, and earth. This opulent, rich, full-throttle wine exhibits a smooth, long finish with a stunning texture as well as richness. Consume it over the next 10–12 years.
RP9393 pts. - Robert Parker’s The Wine Advocate - 1st Oct 2005 A limited cuvee produced from 109-, 127-, and 152-year-old vineyards, this 2003 Shiraz was aged 24 months in a combination of new French and American wood as well as a small amount of older oak. Huge, ripe, surprisingly subtle and polished, this dense purple-hued wine offers layers of blackberry and currant fruit intermingled with spicy new oak, licorice, cedar, and loamy soil characteristics. Full-bodied and voluptuous, but not over the top, this beauty should drink well for 10–15 years.
RP9191 pts. - Robert Parker’s The Wine Advocate - 27th Feb 2013 Pale brown in color and made from Muscat Petite Grain grapes, the NV The Muscat has a really grapey and raisin nose underscored by spices and a touch of roses. Very sweet in the mouth it retains crisp acid to lift the concentrated, liquid raisin flavors. Nicely balanced, it finishes long. Drink it now.SP9090 pts. - Wine Spectator - Dec 31, 2005 Sweet, dense and spicy, with toffee, molasses and prune flavors that linger on the rich finish. Drink now.
RP9898 pts. - Robert Parker’s The Wine Advocate - 1st Oct 2004 The light amber-hued, unctuously-textured non-vintage The Tokay reveals a similar flavor profile to the Muscat, with perhaps more balsamic, maple syrup, and Asian spice-like characteristics. It is quite spectacular, and very sweet.SP9191 pts. - Wine Spectator - Web only – 2005 Sweet, but it stops short of syrupy, with a lovely caramel and brewed tea quality that lingers, along with a touch of pineapple and floral notes. Drink now.
RP9292 pts. - Robert Parker’s The Wine Advocate - 1st Oct 2006 A serious effort, the 2004 Grenache Gomersal includes 3% Shiraz, and is aged in 500 liter pungeons. Its deep ruby color is followed by a sweet bouquet of cranberry jam, kirsch, licorice, spice box, and earth. Drink this long, rich, round, open-knit, heady Grenache over the next 4–5 years.
VN8888 pts. - Vinous - Mar 2016 Deep red. Aromas of ripe red fruits, vanilla and mocha, with a smoky nuance emerging slowly. Supple and broad in the mouth, offering sweet, slightly jammy raspberry and blueberry liqueur flavors and a repeating vanilla note. In a plush, ample, warm style, with subtle tannins lending shape to the finish.
RP9898 pts. - Robert Parker’s The Wine Advocate - 1st Oct 2004 Produced from a dry-farmed, single vineyard of old vine Shiraz (some of which are 120 years old), the stunning, inky/purple-tinged 2002 Shiraz Exile was aged in 100% new French oak. A sweet nose of black fruits, flowers, melted licorice, and espresso roast precedes a wine of amazing concentration, compelling intensity, and a tremendous finish of more than 60 seconds. Although expensive, readers must take into consideration the age of the vines as well as the limited production. This exquisite Shiraz is approachable, but promises to hit its peak in 3–5 years, and last for two decades. Kudos to proprietor Jonathan Malthus for his work in the Barossa.
SP9191 pts. - Wine Spectator - Jan 31, 2002 Amber in color, sweet but nut unctuous, this has vibrant almond, apricot and spice aromas and flavors, and echoes rich notes of cherry and orange peel as well. Drink now.RP9090 pts. - Robert Parker’s The Wine Advocate - 29th Jun 2016 The NV Museum Reserve Antique Tawny is pale amber/tawny in color and seriously nutty with a walnut and Christmas cake-laced nose; spirituous notes of brandy waft alongside caramel, treacle and earth. Rich, concentrated and with good length, this wine is sweet and packed with flavor.WE8989 pts. - Wine Enthusiast - 2/1/2011 A pale tawny in color, this complex sweet wine features note of honey, fig and citrus. It’s silky in texture, even if the alcohol does show through a bit on the finish.
