Awards, Ratings & Reviews

98/100 — Campbell Mattinson, Halliday Wine Companion · 2021 Vintage
“Grown on the estate's 'Old Block' of shiraz vines, planted in 1969. It spent 16 months in French oak barriques (50% new). It's a magnificent release. It's fluid, elegant and controlled but, just a bit, it also stamps its feet and says: the world is mine. It's awash with cherry/plum, peanut shell, black pepper and floral flavours, and it's both silken to the touch, and (super) long through the finish. This is a wine.”

98/100 — Huon Hooke, The Real Review · 2021 Vintage
“Very deep, dark, brooding purple-red colour; the bouquet is powerful, rich and complex with a wide range of spice aromas that are immediately arresting and challenging to describe. Pepper, clove, bayleaf, turmeric, nutmeg, with fruit aromas in the black cherry, blackberry spectrum with a touch of espresso coffee. The wine is very full-bodied and powerful, the concentration impressive but not achieved at the expense of elegance or balance. Outstanding shiraz.”

98/100 — Halliday Wine Companion · 2021 Vintage
“Medium-to-deep crimson. On the nose, black fruits, black olive, pepper and vanilla. With a broody intensity, this wine shows an amalgam of black, blue and red fruits on the palate, with mulberry at the forefront. Both spicy and earthy, it displays hints of purple florals and is structured by supple yet persistent tannins.”

97/100 — Ray Jordan, Wine Pilot · 2021 Vintage
“One of Australia’s finest cool climate Shiraz and this vintage has produced one of the best. This is the 40th vintage since the first of these rolled off the line in 1981. I love the combination of dusty earthiness, plum and spices. The natural acidity is key as it allows the palate to focus and strike out towards a sustained finish. Radiant and vibrant with a brilliant presence in the glass.”

97/100 — Nick Ryan, The Weekend Australian Magazine · 2021 Vintage
“From the old vines on the original block. A beautiful and enthusiastically expressive wine. Real energy and lift. Dry flowers and juicy dark cherries, ripe red berries, a bustling souk full of spices. Lashings of white pepper, some star anise, cardamom, mace. A seductive plushness to the palate, a gorgeously satiny sheen.”

97/100 — Sarah Ahmed, Decanter · 2021 Vintage
“Ethereal, with granite and black pepper-sluiced fresh, persistent raspberry and blackberry fruit, a dancing backbone of acidity and dynamic, spiralling tannins. Awash with spices and violets – delicious detail – the long, elegant finish has a lick of milk chocolate and compelling, peppery, meaty, mineral back-palate resonance.”

96/100 — Erin Larkin, Robert Parker Wine Advocate · 2021 Vintage
“The 2021 Langi Shiraz is blue-fruited and aromatic, with black spice and olive brine, field flowers and crushed rocks. It is kind of ethereal in its way. It has an authentic feeling, of the earth, and it's floral, fine and long, with substance and finesse. This is a superstar wine; it's really great.”

95/100 — Angus Hughson, Vinous · 2021 Vintage
“The exceptional 2021 Shiraz Langi is supremely youthful and energetic, delivering a tight and robust core of tarry, liquorice and roasted meats laced with hot granite and dark spices. Great tension follows, with dense, ripe dark berries, new leather, tobacco and rivers of chalky tannin. Granitic minerality holds a steady over a finish of exceptional length.”
