"Wine Enthusiast" has rated the wine "Parker Coonawarra Estate 'First Growth'" from the vintage 2005 on 01.01.2009 with 92 of 100 points.
"Parker's First Growth has developed into something of a Coonawarra classic, and this vintage is as strong as ever. Densely packed with cedar, cassis and vanilla, this is a youthful pup that packs considerable tannic clout on the finish. Drink 2013?2020."
yr. 2004 Wine Enthusiast:
91 of 100 Points.
"Wine Enthusiast" has rated the wine "Parker Coonawarra Estate 'First Growth'" from the vintage 2004 on 01.01.2008 with 91 of 100 points.
"The 2004 isCabernet SauvignonMerlot andnew French oak. There's plenty of fruit to back up the lavish oak treatment, but this wine needs 3?5 years to integrate its cassis fruit with the overlay of vanilla, chocolate and toasted coconut. It seems a bit coarsely textured at first, then smoothes out nicely with air, gaining length on the finish. Drink 2008?2015."
yr. 2001 Wine Enthusiast:
90 of 100 Points.
"Wine Enthusiast" has rated the wine "Parker Coonawarra Estate 'First Growth'" from the vintage 2001 on 01.01.2006 with 90 of 100 points.
"Wide, smooth and dark on the palate, this blend offers a burst of flavorful, dark fruit at palate entry. The juicy fruit is well oaked, but not toasty; brambly aromas start it all off. A very pretty wine."
yr. 2000 Wine Enthusiast:
87 of 100 Points.
"Wine Enthusiast" has rated the wine "Parker Coonawarra Estate 'First Growth'" from the vintage 2000 with 87 of 100 points.
"Aromas are nutty, but also have some stewiness. In the mouth, the wine's tannins are soft enough, perhaps uncharacteristically so, but its taut berry and plum skin flavors still give it an unapproachable pucker. It's a wine that can typically go some years in the cellar, which may help the flavors unfold some in this case."
