Critics Ratings
‘The 1998 Shiraz Octavius is undoubtedly controversial given its volatile acidity. Nevertheless, it is a loaded, intense, rich, classic example of full-throttle and full-bodied old vine Barossa Shiraz. All the Octavius fruit is sourced from vineyards ranging from 70 to 100 years of age.’ - Robert Parker, Wine Advocate, 97/100 (Aug 2003)
‘Ripe, rich and powerful, with gorgeous blackberry, cherry and anise flavors at the fore, this shows hints of vanilla, cream and exotic spices lurking in the background, all of it echoing on the fine-grained finish.’ - Harvey Steiman, Wine Spectator, 93/100 (Sept 2002)
