Coming off some of Australia’s best old vines and with no less than 6 Gold Medals to its name, this is one EASY wine to recommend.

James Halliday starts off by saying “Dense, opaque, old-blood liquid that stains the glass as it is swirled – as with the ’20 a year ago. There are untold layers of very black fruits here, plus a dab of chocolate borrowed from McLaren Vale. So precocious.” before awarding it 95 points - and we couldn’t agree more.

Stuart Knox, from The Real Review, went further:

“… impenetrable in the glass. Heady and concentrated aromas of mulberry, black olive, and vanilla oil… Great length and well framed by firmly built, yet velvet tannins. Many years ahead of it.”

Eden Valley is simply Barossa, plus elegance, and freshness. You'll love how the 2021 Mystery Eden Valley Shiraz simply grows and grows and grows in the glass, in your mouth, and in your mind as you work your way through the bottle. It’s a stunning wine, par excellence, and has me feeling very happy just writing this note!

The bad news? Only a TINY quantity was made and at this time-sensitive price (well more than 50% off the RRP of $120), means this will sell out staggeringly quickly. Once you rip the top of the first bottle, you are going to wish you’d grabbed a few dozen.

Stuart Knox - The Real Review

Ink black and impenetrable in the glass. Heady and concentrated aromas of mulberry, black olive, and vanilla oil. The palate follows the same path of intensity and concentration, further layers show themselves as it opens, curing meat and iodine adding to the purple fruits and sweet spice notes. Great length and well framed by firmly built, yet velvet tannins. Many years ahead of it

James Halliday - Halliday's Wine Companion

Dense, opaque, old-blood liquid that stains the glass as it is swirled – as with the ’20 a year ago. There are untold layers of very black fruits here, plus a dab of chocolate borrowed from McLaren Vale. I'm not in two minds about this, it's more like 20. So precocious.”

93 POINTS

Decanter World Wine Awards

Complex nose displaying scents of violets, tobacco, dark plums, chocolate and graphite. Massively succulent and impressive. Surprisingly poised.

93 POINTS

Campbell Mattinson - The Wine Front

It rides along smoothly until it approaches the finish, where assertive tannin rumbles impressively through. It sits on the bold side of medium weight, which is a good place to sit, with rounds of plum, redcurrant and darker blackberry notes woven through with earth and sweet, campfire-roasted spice. All the components here are in a good place. Indeed it’s a pretty seductive ride, start to finish.

92 POINTS

James Suckling

Aromas of blueberry, resin, thyme and baked plum. Full-bodied with silky, slightly chewy tannins. Nicely textured and fruity, with a bed of black fruit, ground spice and coffee coming through. Generous, but not overdone. Drink now.
