94-97 points Wine Advocate
The 2003 Shiraz Savitar is a prodigious offering. Made from 30- to 50-year-old Shiraz vines in the Willunga district of McLaren Vale, it was aged 18 months in 100% new French barrels and small foudres. This elegant Shiraz boasts an opaque purple color along with sumptuous blueberry, blackberry, and cassis notes intermixed with touches of white flowers, licorice, camphor, and graphite. A compellingly textured, rich, super-endowed red, it combines power with finesse. (RP)(10/2004)
95 points James Halliday
Full-bodied but supple and long in the mouth; spice, dark chocolate and blackberry; fine tannins. (7/2011)
