Description
Excellent, classy Ulithorne Shiraz with scores of 94, 94 & 96pts, from McLaren Vale's Blewitt Springs.“Sourced from Blewitt Springs within the great McLaren Vale region. It’s a region that produces such distinctive and classy wines, and this one is right on the money. Balanced, succulent, fresh… Excellent Wine. 94pts" (Ray Jordan, WinePilot).
As the wines step up Ulithorne’s many-runged shiraz ladder, they seem to go up in concentration and plushness, the consistent theme a velvety, luxurious mouthfeel and refined tannins. Even with that intensity, the flavours still straddle the red zone – red plum and raspberry – if notably ripe, joining blackberry, black cherry, demi-glace and Dutch licorice, with ginger, clove and vanilla oak notes in support. It’s a suave and sophisticated package, and pretty hard not to like. 94pts” (Marcus Ellis, The Halliday Wine Companion)
Sam Kim is even more of a fan, giving it a whopping 96pts and calling it: "gorgeously expressed on the nose" with a palate that is: "equally satisfying with weighty mouthfeel and fleshy texture, wonderfully framed by layers of fine-grained tannins, making it immensely satisfying."
