92 Points Campbell Mattinson. The Wine Front … “Yalumba has long been a master of medium bodied. well ripened. well balanced red wines. It ™s never been part of the over the top brigade. This one is juicy. seedy. aniseedy. Earth and blackberry. A beautiful medium bodied Australian burgundy style. and yet thoroughly modern at the same time. Bright. smoky. a little reductive. fine web of tannin. Balance of various components. and the overall polish. is immaculate. ”
4 Stars Chris Shanahan. The Canberra Times 13 Nov 2013 … “After the leaner. lighter 2011 vintage reviewed in July. The Strapper 2012 returns to its opulent Barossa best. The floral. sweet. enticing aroma of grenache leads to a full. round. juicy palate with the body of shiraz and spicy. tannic character of mataro … ”
94/100 Ray Jordan. The West Australian 6 Feb 2014… “… a beautiful spicy and effortlessly long light of touch example of this famous Barossa blend. Has good tannin structure supporting the medium weight fruit which holds a steady controlled line to the long finish. It has a succulent palate with fine grainy tannins in support along with a judicious use of French oak. Complex and compelling. a super example of this blend from a stunning vintage in the Barossa. ”
