Publication:   James Halliday - Wine Companion 2007 (July 2007)
Title:   James Halliday Wine Companion 2008 - 2002 Elderton "Ode to Lorraine" Cabernet Shiraz Merlot - 93 Points
Comment: “A powerful, earthy, savoury wine; has considerable length and intensity, finishing with lingering but ripe tannins. I’m far less convinced by the shocking lipstick-pink label”. 93 Points

Title:   Wine Spectator Insider - 2002 Elderton "Ode To Lorraine" Cab/Shiraz/Merlot - 92 Points
Comment: "Polished in texture and effusive in flavor, this glows with plum, blackberry and spicy cream flavors that remain generous through the velvety finish. A distinctive red that has real style and depth. Cabernet Sauvignon, Shiraz and Merlot. Drink now through 2012." 92 Points

Publication:   Robert Parker The Wine Advocate (October 2006)
Title:   The Wine Advocate - 2004 Elderton "Ode to Lorraine" CSM - 92 Points
Comment: “An impressive blend of 68% Cabernet Sauvignon, 25% Shiraz, and 7% Merlot, the 2002 Ode to Lorraine possesses an extroverted bouquet of red and black fruits, pepper, licorice, cedar, and sweet, toasty new oak. Full-bodied, heady, and rich, it appears to have been made for the quintessential hedonist. It should continue to drink well for 6-7 years.” 92 Points

Publication:   Stephen Tanzer International Wine Cellar (August 2006)
Title:   International Wine Cellar - 2002 Elderton "Ode to Lorraine" CSM - 89 Points
Comment: Deep ruby. Spicy, vibrant aromas of cherry, dark plum, coffee, bitter chocolate and musky underbrush. Round and supple, with an almost sweet character to the spicy dark berry flavors. Expands and deepens on the back, taking on darker notes of espresso and chocolate, but this has good lift and focus too. Finishes with fine tannins and a suave note of floral pastille. 89 Points
