"Medium deep crimson. Fresh blackberry, dark plum, raspberry, dark chocolate espresso aromas with savoury roasted walnut/cedar notes. Concentrated blackberry, dark plum, mulberry fruits, attractive chinotto, negroni notes, sinuous velvety fine tannins and integrated roasted walnut oak. Finishes chocolaty firm with plentiful ripe dark fruits and savoury notes. Richly flavoured wine with lovely volume, texture, freshness and balance. Drink early or keep for a while."

95 Points - James Halliday Wine Companion

"The bouquet does indeed bellow from the glass like that a euphonium. It has a swag of red, black and purple fruits all in tune, something very different for drinking now."

94 Points - Christina Pickard Wine Enthusiast Magazine 

""This blend of old-vine Shiraz, Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Cabernet Franc is open and fragrant yet powerful and dense right from the get go. Concentrated damson plum and black currant are backed by notes of dark chocolate, licorice, eucalyptus and tomato leaf, with a sanguine nuance. The tannins are powerful and drying but hold the silky fruit neatly in place."

93 Points - Joe Czerwinski Robert Parker Wine Advocate

"2016 Keyneton Euphonium beautifully marries the mint and herb of the Bordeaux varieties with the plumminess and spice of the Shiraz. Hints of mint, tea and violets accent dark, plummy fruit, then finish with savory overtones of black olive. It’s full-bodied and supple."

"Mulberry, blackberry, leaf and spicy aromas are now joined by some delicious aged cedary complexity. It dry, rounded and fleshy with dark berry and ethereal dried sage and spicy flavours on a long bold finish that is dominated by rustic tannins. It’s impressive but slightly structure heavy so best served with a serious piece of meat."

93 Points - Sarah Ahmed Decanter Magazine

""A sumptuous, savoury twist on classic Shiraz-Cabernet blends, full of rich, velvety cassis fruit, dark chocolate, cured black olive and dried herbs. Splashes of Merlot and Cabernet Franc bring accents of blueberry, spicy fruitcake, tea, tomato plant and ketchup. A fretwork of tannins and juicy acidity makes for a dynamic interplay of flavours and textures, concluding with Cabernet Sauvignon's gravel, grip and focus. A full-bodied, flavoursome feast."

92 Points - Stuart Knox The Real Review

"Very deep and intense ruby-red colour throughout the glass. Mulberry and wakame aromatics. A medium-weighted shiraz that still shows bright fruit with a layer of tobacco leaf and bracken savoury. Fine-boned tannins give good length and drive. Supple and harmonious."

92 Points - Mike Bennie The Wine Front

"A lovely, fuller figured release with lush, ripe fruit characters, boysenberry jam whiffs and flavours, a bit of choc-cherry character, faintest nougat and coconut, cinnamon going on mid palate and through the close. Lots of spice, is another thing. It’s flows nicely, soft, thick, rich, a bit boozey-breathy but long, finishing with a titter of lemony acidity but mostly sweet fruit. Very lush and rounded. Big appeal for those seeking fuller, warming expressions in good balance."
