Publication:   Wine Spectator Insider (Nov 2010)
Title:   2008 Neil Ashmead Grand Tourer Shiraz
Comment: Focused, juicy and effusive with black cherry, roasted red pepper and savory spices, this isn’t a heavy wine, but persistent as the finish extends. Best from 2011 through 2018. 92 points — H.S.

Title:   Robert Parker - 2008 Elderton Neil Ashmead Gts Elderton Estate - 92pts
Comment: The 2008 Neil Ashmead GTS is a Shiraz cuvee from the riper 2008 vintage. Purple-colored, it has an alluring bouquet of damp earth, lavender, pepper, bacon, and blueberry. Full-bodied on the palate, it has a glossy texture, layered flavors bordering on opulent, incipient complexity, plenty of depth and richness, and a long, fruit-filled finish. It can be enjoyed now but will drink well for a decade. Wine Advocate # 186 Dec 2009

Title:   Stephen Tanzer's International Wine Cellar - 2008 Elderton "GTS" Shiraz
Comment: Opaque ruby. Deep, brooding aromas of cherry pit, blackcurrant, licorice, espresso and dried violet. Spicy, palate-numbing cherry and dark berry flavors are refreshingly bitter and sharply focused, with fine-grained tannins adding grip. Juicy and subtly sweet on the finish, which strongly echoes the spice notes and clings with excellent clarity and persistence. This will repay patience. 92 points
