Yalumba - Wine Spectator	Yalumba Hand Picked Shiraz Viognier - 2016	2016	90	Apr-2020
Review “Fresh plum, cherry and red licorice flavors show an herbal edge, with rye toast and a dash of marmalade. The tannins are thick and appealing, lingering on the finish, accented by whiffs of smoke, sandalwood and black tea. Shiraz and Viognier.”
Yalumba - Wine Spectator	Yalumba Fine Aged Tawny 30 Years Old	N/V	93	Apr-2020
Review “Thick and viscous, built around a core of black walnut liqueur flavors. Shows precision to the cinnamon, blood orange and molasses details, while a threat of acidity keeps the flavors fresh and not cloying.”
Yalumba - Wine Spectator	Yalumba The Octavius Shiraz	2015	92	Apr-2020
Review “Dense, toothsome huckleberry and blackberry flavors show touches of Earl Grey tea, black licorice and sandalwood, adding distinctive spiciness. Savory details of saline and dried herb linger, as do the tannins, which firm up on the finish.”
Yalumba - Wine Spectator	Yalumba The Virgilius Viognier	2017	92	Apr-2020
Review "Succulent white peach and dried apricot flavors are elegant and distinctive, showing restraint and a wonderfully smooth, succulent body. Precise details of nutmeg and litsea essential oil linger on the long, expressive finish.”
Yalumba - Wine Spectator	Yalumba The Menzies Cabernet Sauvignon	2014	91	Apr-2020
Review “An elegant red, with currant and strawberry flavors showing restraint, accented by loam and toasted herb notes. Shows off sage, rosemary and mineral details. A spicy tobacco hint lingers. The tannins are firm but never get in the way of expression.”
Yalumba - Wine Spectator	Yalumba Rare Aged Tawny 50 Years Old	N/V	95	Apr-2020
Review “Intriguing, with thick and creamy toffee and butterscotch notes that start out rich and viscous. A bolt of alcohol midpalate and peaty, Scotch-like roasted barley details keep this from becoming too sweet. Saline, cigar box, espresso, orange zest and toasted cumin accents show on the finish. Begs for another sip.”
Yalumba - Wine Enthusiast	Yalumba Steeple Vineyard Shiraz	2015	92	Apr-2020
Review “Ironstone, sanguine and meaty notes lead on the nose here, followed closely by dried violet, plum cake and cherry cordial. The palate is rich, almost viscous in texture, but a lift of acidity freshens. Tannins are muscular and a little chewy and oaky, and those ironstone, sanguine flavors flow through to the finish. Drink now with protein and decanter at hand until 2030.”
Yalumba - Wine Enthusiast	Yalumba The Octavius Shiraz	2015	94	Apr-2020
Review “This vintage of one of Yalumba’s most premium wines is back up to the level of the 2013. It’s a rich and heady combo of dark chocolate, brambly berries, licorice and earthy herbs. Tannins are integrated neatly within a silky texture of pure, tangy fruit and vibrant acidity. It’s so likable now, it may not age as long as other Shiraz in this price point, but should still progress well for another decade or so.”
Yalumba - Wine Enthusiast	Yalumba Rare Aged Tawny 50 Years Old	N/V	96	Apr-2020
Review “The oldest of Yalumba's three mature Tawnies is a thing of history and beauty, with a portion of the blend from the 1940s, and fortified with brandy from Yalumba's house still. This is warm brown and green-rimmed in hue, like a favorite leather armchair, and the depth of aroma and flavor is remarkable. Chocolate, walnut, molasses and a whisper of dried fruit billow out of the glass. The alcohol and the sweetness are prominent, but those rich, complex aromas morph into flavor, flowing through to a long finish. Concentrated but still vibrant, this is drinking perfectly now and should be one of those gems you open on a very special occasion.”
Yalumba - Wine Enthusiast	Yalumba Fine Aged Tawny 30 Years Old	N/V	93	Apr-2020
Review “The middle child of Yalumba's Tawny trio, this coffee-colored fortified shows its age more prominently than the 21-year-old. It emphasizes dusty library notes in combination with truffle, roasted walnut, coffee bean and faint whiffs of dried stone fruit and caramel. The palate is beautifully balanced, less viscous than its younger counterpart but also a touch less characterful. The nutty, dried fruit flavors mingle with the sweetness and alcohol, lingering in the mouth long after the wine is gone.”
