"Strong colour; powerful, focused and concentrated blackcurrant and blackberry fruit, with lingering tannins to underwrite a long life. One of the very best ever under this label Cork. 14% alc. Rating 94. Drink 2016"  James Halliday - Australian Wine Companion 2007 Ed

"The outstanding 2001 Cabernet Sauvignon Art Series boasts spicy, subtle French oak, cedar, spice box, black currant aromas and flavors gently touched by licorice and herbs. This attractive, medium-bodied Cabernet exhibits layers of richness, a graceful, restrained personality, decent acidity, noticeable but sweet tannin, and a long finish. Enjoy this beauty over the next decade."  Robert Parker's The Wine Advocate, Oct 2005.

"A firm, ripe and long-term stylish cabernet whose cedary fragrance of small red and black berries and sweet, creamy vanilla oak reveals hints of mulberries and rosemary. Generously flavoured and evenly textured, its sumptuous and fine-grained palate marries dark plums, blackberries, dark cherries and chocolate with sweet, cedary and lightly smoky oak and a faintly herbal thread. Framed by ripe and drying tannin, it combines richness with elegance. (Margaret River, 18.0/93, drink 2013-2021)"  Jeremy Oliver's On Wine, 09.14.05.

"A harmonious combination of subtle chocolate, herbs, and yes, plenty of fruit, makes you want to drink this now. But resist. Drink the 2000 now and cellar this one for a few years because it will improve as the tannins soften and the flavors continue to unfold."  96 pts, Michael Apstein, Wine Review OnLine, March 14, 2006.
