James Halliday, August 2011

Excellent colour and clarity; the aromatic bouquet reflects the complex varietal blend of Shiraz/Cabernet Sauvignon/Merlot/Cabernet Franc, with cassis, blackberry and plum fruit, which sets the scene for the very appealing palate, awash with fruit yet tied together by the ripe spicy/savoury tannins on the finish.

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, December 2010

Blended of 75% Shiraz, 11% Cabernet Sauvignon, 8% Merlot and 6% Cabernet Franc, the 2008 Keyneton Estate Euphonium was aged in 30% new, 70% seasoned French and American oak hogsheads for 18 months. Deep garnet-purple colored, it has an expressive nose of crushed blackberries, blueberry pie filling, cinnamon, cloves, warm plums and a whiff of toasty cedar plus just a suggestion of chocolate. Rich, full and crisp on the palate, it has medium-firm finely grained tannins, understated harmony and a long, purely fruited finish. It's approachable now but I suspect it will have more to show in a year or two and should cellar to 2020+. 91+

Supple and ripe, showing real complexity, with nutmeg, licorice and black olive overtones to the dark berry flavors, finishing with medium weight and seductive polish. Shiraz, Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Cabernet Franc. Drink now through 2015.-HS
