2018 Dalwhinnie 'The Eagle' Shiraz

95 Points - Jeni Newport, Wine Companion

“The flagship red is a picture of elegance, with underlying strength and precision. Vibrant, dense plum red. Mediterranean spices, dates, blackberries and warm, toasty oak. Lush texture, with supple tannins make it imminently drinkable, but don't be tempted – the best is yet to come.”

94 Points - Stuart Knox, The Real Review

“Ink black core to a deeply purple rim. Mulberry, smoked meat and dry herbs on the nose. Intense dark fruits fill the mouth, there's layers of complexing features that keep you interested, smoky meats, iodine and woody herbal layers are all noticed. Whilst there's ample intensity and complexity the wine doesn't sit heavy, there's a lift and light throughout and a fine-grained tannin profile brings great drive and definition to the long finish. Plenty of cellaring potential as well Julian Langworthy Winemaker A deep purple in the glass with flashes of crimson. Distinct aromas of baking spices, sandalwood and pepper unfold from the glass alongside dark berries and bramble. The palate exhibits super fine tannins which unfold layer after layer with dark fruits, cedar, red plum, forest floor, truffle and an exquisitely elegant, long finish. A wine for the ages that will reward long cellaring of five to twenty years.”
