	Torbreck The Factor 2000 750ml Our Price: $145.00
	A deep, spicy, heady and floral bouquet alluringly steeped in briary dark plums, cassis and redcurrants with nuances of undergrowth and sweet vanilla oak. Velvet-smooth and framed by silky-fine tannins, the sumptuous palate of vibrant black and red berry fruits is saturated by concentrated flavour. Culminating in a typically meaty, savoury finish, it�s an exercise in carefully controlled power, elegantly packaged and smoothly delivered.

	Penfolds Magill Shiraz 2001 Magnum 1.5L Our Price: $250.00
	A medium weight palate, with mulberry and wild raspberry fruits, tightly contained by satiny tannins that literally coat the whole mouth. Charming, balanced, and long lingering flavours, are courted by malty oak and ideal acidity. In the mould of the 1996 release.

	Penfolds St Henri Shiraz 2001 Magnum 1.5L Our Price: $290.00
	A full bodied offering with a generous mid palate and formidable weight for the style of wine. Tight, with rounded, integrated, yet obvious tannins, primary flavours of black fruits, blackberry conserve, dark plum, liquorice and spice are evident. A youthful, lively wine with no oak influence. A wine of the vintage, demanding larger glassware and an energetic swirl.

	Penfolds Grange Magnum 1.5 Litre 1999 Our Price: $1,200.00
	Milky, sweet, coffeed, really notice the oak coming through on these younger vintages. Acids and tannins not yet integrated � but there is a hell of a lot to be impressed by here. Lovely power, lovely softness, lovely hit of savouriness, and then significant length. Similar to the 1994, but better. Campbell Mattinson, Wine Front August � October 2007

	Penfolds St Henri Shiraz 2005 Magnum 1.5L Our Price: $198.00
	A full bodied offering with a generous mid palate and formidable weight for the style of wine. Tight, with rounded, integrated, yet obvious tannins, primary flavours of black fruits, blackberry conserve, dark plum, liquorice and spice are evident. A youthful, lively wine with no oak influence. A wine of the vintage, demanding larger glassware and an energetic swirl.

	Brown Brothers Patricia Shiraz 2005 Our Price: $55.95
	2005 Patricia Shiraz Nose of dark berries, spice and mocha oak. A rich warm palate with a hint of dark chocolate, firm tannin structure and a long finish. There is a quibble about the noticeable American oak and the firmness but the wine will definitely benefit from some cellaring. This bottle appeared to be in better balance than the one reviewed in February 2009 Winewise. We strongly commend the screwcap closure. Recommended

	Henschke Cyril Cabernet Sauvignon 2006 Our Price: $123.95
	The 2006 vintage shaped up as another high quality year but with only average yields. After a late break in mid June 2005, the winter and spring rains were some of the best for years. The summer was mild reminiscent of 2002. The '06 is deep crismon in colour, with a complex nose of sweet lifted fruit aromas of red current, plum, tobacco with cedar anise and cigar box notes The palate is elegently layered, with good acidity and structure the adds finesse to the fine grained tannins on the finish. Drink now or cellar for the next 10 years

	Penfold Grange Magnum 1.5 Litre 2000 Our Price: $1,295.00
	Penfolds� renowned 2000 Grange is only the fifth vintage to be made from 100% Shiraz (the others being 1951, 1952, 1963, and 1999). It is also, atypically, 100% Barossa fruit. While it is not considered to be one of the great Granges, the 2000 exhibits outstanding potential, and is much more accessible than usual. One of the top wines I tasted from this vintage (which has had to take a back seat to subsequent years), its dense ruby/purple color is followed by a big, sweet nose of blackberries, cherries, chocolate, and earth. With decent acidity, ripe, silky tannin, superb intensity, wonderful equilibrium, and a more open-knit, softer, accessible style than usual, it can be drunk now or cellared for 15-16 years. While this is no wimpy wine, it is an ideal example for readers who are unwilling to invest the patience required for the big, blockbuster Granges. Wine Advocate #161 (Oct 2005).

	Penfolds Grange Magnum 1.5 Litre 2004 Our Price: $1,947.55
	Penfolds Grange is an Australian icon, a National Trust of Australia heritage listed wine which captures the essence of Australian ingenuity and innovation. The story of Grange is steeped in the Australian ethos. It is the story of a winemaker who battled against the odds, possessed by the ideal of creating one of the very great wines of the world. The enduring spirit of Grange means that each vintage boasts its own character as the marque evolves and surprises. A seductive, richly concentrated wine, a timeless classic

	Penfolds Grange 2002 750ml Our Price: $520.00
	Deep, closed and brooding, with perfectly ripened aromas of dark berries, plums and typical smoky cedar/vanilla/dark chocolate Penfolds oak that become more fragrant with aeration, revealing scents of violets, cloves and cinnamon. Smooth, unctuous and exceptionally elegant for Grange, its voluptuous palate of black cherries, plums, black olives and smoky dark oak finishes with exceptional length of vibrant fruit over suggestions of minerals and vanilla. The longer it�s opened the silkier and more ethereal it becomes, as the quality of its fine-grained tannin becomes apparent. A classic reflection of a great cool vintage. Jeremy Oliver

	Penfolds Grange 2003 750ml Our Price: $569.00
	A very ripe, assertive, profoundly structured and traditional warm year Grange whose dark, brooding and brambly fruit and lavish oak are supported by drying, firm and chalky tannin. It�s still a bruising young wine, with a surprisingly floral and heady, jasmine-like bouquet and dense layers of blackberries, blueberries, cassis and dark plums backed by smoky, meaty, dark chocolate and cedary influences. As it opens further, nuances of treacle, aniseed and graphite slowly emerge. Firm and dense, its palate simply drips with concentrated flavour, finishing with the length and balance expected of this label. Jeremy Oliver

	Penfolds Grange 2004 750ml Our Price: $649.99
	Saturated purple-crimson colour; has an amazing depth to the bouquet, oak and black fruits already seamlessly woven; the longer you spend inhaling the aromas, the more you learn about the wine within, in much the same way as a Grand Cru red burgundy. The palate delivers all that the bouquet promises, and then some; it has absolutely perfect proportions to the river of flavours running through blackberry, Satsuma plum, licorice and spice; the tannins are quite active, but totally balanced and ripe. Cork. 14.3% alc. Rating 98 Points Drink 2054 Date Tasted Mar 08 James Halliday Australian Wine Companion

	Penfolds Grange 2005 750ml Our Price: $660.00
	It has an inky deep colour, overwhelming aroma and flavour impact of ripe, dense, sweet fruit, mouth-flooding tannins, distinctive flavour of American oak and a buoyant lift. This is a great wine of rare dimension. Over many decades, it will mellow and grow paler, becoming more fragile and ethereal. Chris Shanahan, 26 May 2010, The Canberra Times

	Penfolds St Henri Shiraz 1999 750ml Our Price: $95.99
	Magnificent gem of a wine, recommended now and in later years, great for special events, birthdays, anniversaries - we always put some of the BEST wines in the cellar

	Penfolds St Henri Shiraz 2003 750ml Our Price: $89.99
	St Henri would be in my top ten favourite shiraz. I just noticed that the RRP is now $80. Depending on how you look at it you could argue that it�s either still too cheap or just a bit too expensive. The former position being relative to its quality compared to Grange and the latter in comparison to other top shiraz available in the market place. I will continue to buy in good vintage because I love both the wine and the style. I just wish there were more like it� Dark and brooding with aromas of blackberry, raspberry, Old Jamaica chocolate, pepper, spice and burnt wood. On the palate thick and full bodied with blackberry, raspberry, charcoal, pepper, spice and dark chocolate flavours. Significantly dry and meaty but not without some freshness. The tannins are firm and again meaty and grippy. Finishes dry and spicy with a dark chocolate and charcoal aftertaste. I think this will soften and sweeten up with further bottle age. BY GARY WALSH

	Penfolds St Henri Shiraz 2004 750ml Our Price: $89.99
	Really interesting wine; and is true to the St Henri style, even with all on offer from the vintage for a fleeting moment it seemed it could the best yet. A very ,very good wine. James Halliday Australian wine Companion 2009

	Penfolds St Henri Shiraz 2005 750ml Our Price: $99.99
	Aromatic, complex and silky, slipping in its gorgeous blackberry, currant and plum fruit against a seething background of toast, spice, mineral and loamy earth. The texture is seamless, and the flavours just take off, sailing through the long, expressive finish. Best from 2011 through 2020." Wine Spectator

	Penfolds St Henri Shraz 2006 750ml Our Price: $89.99
	The aroma is fragrant, spicy and immediately recognisable as shiraz, but taking on a winey complexity. There�s a sweet core of elegant fruit. But the structure is taut and grippy � the fine, slightly austere tannins no doubt contributed by the cabernet in blend. This is a very fine, elegant, beautiful wine. It should be at its best from 15 years of age. Some vintages have recently fetched higher price than Grange. Chris Shanahan, 26 May 2010, The Canberra Times

	Penfolds RWT Shiraz 2002 750ml Our Price: $160.00
	This is a ripper! Loads of sweet, ripe berry fruit and smoky, meaty barrel- ferment oak, hints of aniseed and rich but refined flavour. A wine that combines understated power with supreme elegance. A top wine, albeit not as big as the great �98. Huon Hooke & Ralph Kyte Powell Penguin wine Guide 2005/2006

	Penfolds RWT Shiraz 2003 750ml Our Price: $160.00
	Typically deep in colour, �03 RWT is a less obvious wine at this stage in it�s life than previous vintages. Ripe loganberry, spice and dusty oak aromas are the subtle and complete, and by comparison with most of Penfold�s super premium red it shows more restraint and finesse. The palate is still ripely concentrated, and very harmonious, with perfectly intergrated tannins on a very long finish. A fine RWT, and a good one. Huon Hooke & Ralph Kyte Powell Penguin wine Guide 2007

	Penfolds RWT Shiraz 2004 750ml Our Price: $165.00
	�The 2004 Shiraz �RWT� was barrel-fermented and aged for 14 months in 69% new French oak. Opaque purple-colored, it delivers an expressive nose of smoke, leather, grilled bacon, game, blueberry, and licorice. Full-bodied, it is dense, ripe, and layered as well as opulent. More forward than the Magill Estate, this hedonistic Shiraz can be enjoyed now but will continue to evolve for another 8-10 years. Penfolds, arguably Australia�s most famous winery, continues to perform at a high level under the leadership of Head Winemaker, Peter Gago.� Wine Advocate #173 Oct 2007

	Penfolds RWT Shiraz 2007 Our Price: $185.00
	�RWT� stands for �red wine trial� � a prosaic name for a spectacular wine developed in the 1990s and launched with the 1997 vintage. Sourced from the north-western end of the Barossa � and area favoured by Penfolds and source of much Grange material. This is as good as Barossa shiraz gets � a plush, soft, refined red with a perfect matching of fruit and French oak. It�s a wonderful contract to the muscular Grange. And, Gago says, it protects Grange. With the lovely, refined RWT in the cellar, its easier to resist misguided calls to alter the Grange style. Chris Shanahan, The Canberra Times
