Score 96/100 · Drink 2014-2024, Lisa Perrotti-Brown MW, Wine Advocate, Dec 2011

The 2008 Eligo Shiraz reveals a very deep purple-black color and pronounced creme de cassis, licorice, dark chocolate and nut aromas with underlying loam, cedar, dried plum and espresso notes. Full bodied and yet remarkably elegant in the mouth, it has complex layers of savory and warm black fruit flavors balanced by refreshing acid and a medium to firm level of very fine tannins, finishing with great persistence. Still tight-knit and primary, it should drink best 2014 to 2024+. Importer: Old Bridge Cellars, Napa, CA; www.oldbridgecellars.com

Score 17/20 · Drink 2014-2020, Jancis Robinson MW, Sep 2011

Selection in the vineyard of the top wine in best years. More new oak. Crimson. 66% new French oak. Tight and Côte Rôtie-ish. Dry and youthful, chewy finish, and a certain sweetness. (JR)

Glass-staining ruby. Intensely floral aromas of fresh red and dark berries, candied cherry and cracked pepper. Silky in texture, with midweight black raspberry and bitter cherry flavors, nervy mineral cut and slow-building tannins. This balanced, elegant wine has the energy to reward patience.
