"This prodigious Shiraz from De Lisio is a spectacular wine for the 2003 vintage. Dense and highly extracted revealing notes of lead pencil shavings, blackberries, blueberries, cassis, licorice, new oak, and scorched earth. Concentrated yet velvety textured with a seamless integration of tannin, acidity, wood and alcohol. 93 points - Steve Rayman, B-21 Wine Company
