Average Critic Score: 88.0/100

The 1995 sits at the structured end of the Museum Shiraz range. A cooler year in the Great Southern produced wines with firmer tannins and more restrained aromatics at release, but three decades in bottle have allowed those elements to fully resolve. The wine is now in a tertiary phase of savoury complexity: dried herbs, dark spice and preserved plum, with a long, composed finish. A genuine record of early Mount Barker winemaking, sourced from estate vineyards first planted in 1968 and matured in French oak for 16 to 18 months before bottling.

Critic Reviews

90 Points - Jeremy Oliver, Oliver's Wines

“Stylish and pristine, this elegant and finely focused cabernet has a faintly mineral and herbal bouquet of intense cassis, dark plums, mulberries and earthy undertones overlying perfumed cedary and faintly chocolatey...”

86 Points - James Halliday, Wine Companion

“Full red-purple; a ripe, dense, dark berry/briary bouquet with a touch of chocolate but no spice; the palate is powerful, dense and ripe with plum and black cherry fruit supported by briary/earthy undertones. Subtle oak. This is the winery that created the defining imagery around the founding of the Great Southern wine region. The wines are drinking beautifully now. They do make terrific and rare gifts for wine lovers …”
