| "Complex, spicy, savoury but fresh fruit aromas; flavours of raspberry, berry and plum; oak adds more to texture than flavour; perfect tannin management. Quality cork. Rating 93 Drink 2015 Date Tasted Mar 05." James Halliday's Australian Wine Companion.
"My favorite of this trio is the 2003 Avatar, a blend of Grenache, Mourvedre, and Shiraz from 15- to 60-year-old vines. Its dense ruby/purple hue is accompanied by sumptuous aromas of blackberries, currants, licorice, and subtle smoke. This layered, opulent effort reveals good acidity, a delicate touch of wood, and a deep, flavorful, full-bodied finish with no hard edges. It should drink well for 7-8 years." 92 pts, Robert Parker's The Wine Advocate, Oct. 2005.
