Wine Advocate: 96 Points
I was thoroughly impressed by the opulent and layered texture of the 2016 Ironheart Shiraz a wine that in previous vintages has sometimes seemed more about structure than pleasure. It starts off with scents of cedar menthol plums and baking spices then eases into a full-bodied plush velvety palate that delivers waves of ripe black cherries. Deep and long it's a terrific example of McLaren Vale Shiraz that should drink well for 10-15 years.
Halliday Wine Companion: 96 Points
Comes solely from a single 1.8ha block wild yeast-open fermented with 25% whole bunches 75% destemmed and mechanically sorted fruit matured in French oak (35% new) for 15 months. Rich complex and mildly tannic its balance assuring those tannins will settle down and thereafter serve to assure development of the wine. James Halliday
