"An amazing Shiraz, Killibinbin's 1998 is selling for a song given its quality and pleasure-giving characteristics. Reminiscent of dry vintage port, this black/purple-colored behemoth offers aromas of blackberries, cassis, sweet, damp earth, licorice, and chocolate, as well as an explosive, full-bodied entry on the palate. Dry, hugely-concentrated, and clearly a heavyweight, with a whopping 16% alcohol, it is neither hot nor out of balance. An infant in terms of development, this 1998 should continue to evolve for 10-15+ years." 96 pts, Robert Parker's The Wine Advocate, Feb. 2000.

Stephen Tanzer's International Wine Cellar, July/Aug 00
"Dark ruby. Deep, sappy aromas of cassis, dark chocolate, licorice and mint, plus exotic American oak tones. Thick, very concentrated and ripe. Has fruit of steel over a powerful backbone. Finishes tight but impressively long. (The Grateful Palate, Oxnard, CA) 92(+?) points."
