JAMES HALLIDAY – October, 2000
Medium yellow-green; the toasty bouquet has touches of honey and citrus, the palate with a corresponding mix of toast and grass flavours. Quite rich, but almost inevitably doesn't have the finesse required for aging. Best Drinking: 2001 to 2002, 85 out of 100.

THE AGE Uncorked – 12 October, 1999
This showcases the better side of Barossa Semillon. It has early picked delicacy and restraint. The colour is light yellow-green, and the aromas are of straw, lemon and cut-grass. The flavour is discreet and stylish. Rating: 4.5 Stars

WINE – THE TASTING, July 1994
‘Still quite oaky, honeyed and rich,’ said Peter, ‘big style with lots of concentration’. Charles M approved of the ‘lean, ripe greengagey fruit and excellent toasty character,’ while Oz enjoyed ‘rich deep flavours of sugared nuts, leather and lanolin.’ Stuart said ‘the palate has a fresh, hard, minerally lime character, but there’s a soft-edged structure with it very appetising and well-made wine.’
