"If Pat Carmody can’t make great shiraz, then we should all shut up shop. He’s only been doing so at Craiglee for, oh, about 40-plus years. There’s a DNA imprint to this, with a whorl of dark fruit, warm spices shot through, cedary oak and wafts of red roses. Very savoury though, fuller bodied with archetypal Craiglee tannins supple, shapely and ripe. Yes, a lovely wine made by a legend. Drink 2023-2035."  Jane Faulkner, Halliday Wine Companion - 96 points

"The nose is dark-fruited and reductive with aromas of wild blackberries, brambles, mocha and dried herbs. The medium-bodied palate has finely integrated tannins and bright-fruited notes of violets, graphite and damson plums. Made from original plantings from 1976. Excellent. Drink or hold. Screw cap."  James Suckling, Jamessuckling.com - 96 points
