2008 Old Plains Alluvium Old Vine Cabernet Shiraz scored 94 Points from Gary Walsh of The Wine Front “..Plenty of come-hither, nutty vanilla oak laid down over black fruits with black strap liquorice and mint adding interest. It’s full-bodied, ripe and luscious but not over-powering or heavy – layers of fruit loll on a thick mattress of velveteen tannins. Flavours of blood plums and savoury oak crop up on the finish. Somewhat obvious, although pretty and highly appealing. No question marks over quality and integrity either. “
