"Toni Paterson MW captured the essence of the bracket well when she said, ‘Wonderful to see so many expressions and personalities on the table.' Shiraz is always a challenge to judge in this setting, because every wine represented in this category is worthy of being included; to try to split them is painfully difficult.

"This decision, however, fell out easily. Clear as day, a victory by a large margin; the 2022 JC Block Shiraz from Koomilya is certainly one of Australia’s greatest wines." – Katrina Butler
