90 Robert Parker - Robert Parker's Wine Advocate

"There are 20,000 cases of the 2003 Shiraz The Lucky Country, a blend of 55% Shiraz and 45% Cabernet Sauvignon. An outstanding effort as well as an attractive value, it offers a deep ruby/purple color with loads of creme de cassis fruit intermixed with hints of smoke and licorice. This delicious, savory Australian red (finished with a screw cap) is best drunk during its first 3-4 years of life. This brilliant operation is a credit to the meticulous winemaking of Michael Twelftree and his staff!"
