2006 Bowen Estate Shiraz

2020-02-09T22:10:02Z

89 points - Serious red and enjoyable with food. Perhaps a year or two past its best. If you have a bottle, drink it now.

2016 Bowen Estate Cabernet Sauvignon

2018-09-16T12:07:45Z

95 points - Attractive deep purple red. Tightly packed aromas, bramble and plum, none of the eucalyptus character. Needs time. The palate is tightly wound with good ripe fruit. Serious tannin structure, again dense yet with sufficient fruit power to compensate. A wine that can be cellared. Very good if a little unready.

2011 Bowen Estate Cabernet Sauvignon

2014-04-12T05:35:13Z

89 points - Good result for the vintage. Doesn't lack ripeness, but wants for a bit of length and complexity.

2007 Bowen Estate Cabernet Sauvignon

2010-12-26T19:56:35Z

84 points - Pretty good nose of mixed berries. Only a fair early palate with not much complexity in mid-palate, and not a great finish. After this bottle I'm starting to wonder whether Australia can really make a Cabernet that ranks with the California or French cabernets. Shiraz is definitely their better bet.
