A wine where descriptors are almost superfluous. Just a brilliant mature balanced wine. If pushed I would say some licorice, roast meat and a hint of cowyard. A world class Syrah. 18.5- — 11 years ago

Why did I pass on '07s? Big mistake on my part. This is really good, and it just goes to show: buy great producers in every vintage. — 12 years ago

If you love top shelf Cabernet, as I do, this is stunning. Absolutely gorgeous nose, a brilliant palate. Layers of currant, and plummy cedary notes. One of the 1001 wines. Will go to 2020. 18.5. — 12 years ago

This vintage continues to show remarkable power, grace, elegance and minerality, framed by brilliant tannins and clever oak treatment. Truly a classic Flaccianello. — 13 years ago

Infanticide but brilliant, Asian spice box, earthy beauty of a wine. Wow! — 12 years ago

Heavenly! Crushed rock, citrus, white flowers, hint of petrol. I can't stop putting my nose in the glass. Bright, juicy red apple and melon flavors. Medium bottle with sugar kept in check by brilliant acidity. Finish sails on for a minute plus. Truly one of the best! — 12 years ago

Herbaceous, rose petal, dried tobacco, black peppercorn. Medium bodied, easy drinking but super interesting! — 12 years ago
