"A 60/40% blend of Shiraz and Cabernet Sauvignon. New oak rules the roost, but there are ample black fruits to provide balance. By far the best Morambro Creek wine to date. Drink to: 2030"
- James Halliday Australian Wine Companion 2015, 95 pts
"A 60-40 blend of Shiraz and Cabernet Sauvignon, the 2012 The Bryson Barrel Select offers minty notes layered over dark fruit. Roasted meat, blueberry and cassis also play roles in this full-bodied but structured wine that appears to be at or near peak maturity. - Joe Czerwinski" - Robert Parker's Wine Advocate (Interim end of September 2018), 93 pts
"55% shiraz and 45% cabernet sauvignon. Intense purple-crimson colour, and a notably complex array of fruit aromas and flavours augmented by 18 months in new and used French and American oak. Plum cake, dark chocolate and gently chewy tannins are all part of a complex jigsaw puzzle."
"Gorgeously complex and sensual, the wine shows crème de cassis, sweet plum and spicy oak characters on the nose with nuances of game and tobacco. It’s mouthfilling and expansive on the palate with layers of delectable flavours and silky texture, making it immensely appealing. At its best: now to 2025. AU$55.00. - Sam Kim"
