89 Points Robert Parker
The 2001 Shiraz Lloyd Reserve’s dense ruby/purple color is followed by a sweet nose of earth, black fruits, pepper, and pungent spices. Soft and savory, with spicy oak, underbrush, and herb characteristics, it is a fruit-forward, generous, attractive Shiraz to drink over the next 7-8 years.

93 Points James Halliday
A powerful, potent and complex bouquet of blackberry and spice; regional chocolate and lots of oak add to the palate flavour; long finish. Drink to 2015.
