The critics points & reviews:

2013 Grant Burge 'Meshach' Shiraz
Gold Medal - Barossa Valley Wine Show 2018
95 Points - James Halliday, Halliday Wine Companion
60+yo vines, hand-picked, open-fermented with 12% whole bunches, 88% crushed/destemmed, 9 days on skins, matured in 68% French oak, 32% American (52% new) for 19 months. A full-bodied shiraz; the tannins are banging on the war drums, so have plenty of protein at hand. 

2018 Eisenstone 'Greenock SR801' Shiraz
Ranked #5 of 258 2018 Shiraz from Barossa Valley
97 Points - Huon Hooke, The Real Review
Very deep bright red with a good tint of purple and a dark-chocolate, char-oak and black fruit bouquet laced with tar and ironstone. Terrific depth of flavour, great concentration and sumptuous fleshy texture, the ample tannins are velvet-smooth and last the entire length of the palate—which is very long. Outstanding shiraz.

2018 Hentley Farm 'The Beast' Shiraz
96 Points - Angus Hughson, Wine Pilot
The Beauty and The Beast – Hentley Farm’s two popular shiraz although each with their own unique style. Different vintages work for different wines but for 2018 my money is on The Beast, a name that it matches up to particularly well in this warm vintage.

There is nothing subtle here and the wine flirts with just being too big, but then its supreme balance kicks in. It explodes with tarry, licorice and blackberry jam fruit with touches of spice and roasted meats all underpinned by generous new oak. The palate is similarly rich and flavoursome, lashings of ripe dark fruit with muscular tannins providing a particularly long and strong finish. Barossa Valley on steroids.
