98 Points - Erin Larkin (RobertParker.com):

"The 2023 The Schubert Theorem Shiraz is a gorgeous wine. It is silky, inky, pure, black as the ace of spades and long through the finish. The use of concrete egg in the fermentation/maturation stages lends the wine a sense of purity and finesse. It supports a core of crystalline fruit that is wrapped in earthy, grainy tannin and woven together with threads of saline acidity. It has rose petals, detail and delicacy, power and precision. Standish performs somewhat like a Burgundian producer—he works with one grape (I suppose two, if you count the small inclusion of Viognier in the Relic) to express different vineyard sites, soil types and elevations. There's no "declassified" fruit in these wines, no flow-on opportunities to other cuvées, just "make or break" viticulture and winemaking. The ancient terroir of the Barossa is writ large in these wines. It is striking. This 2023 Schubert, despite the cool and wet conditions, is a testament to Standish's clarity of vision. 14.9% alcohol, sealed under natural cork." - Wine Advocate

99 Points - James Suckling (Jamessuckling.com):

"Deeply scented and perfumed, with layered aromas of wild red berries, blueberries, blackberries, bitter chocolate, coffee, black cherries, graphite and licorice. The palate is textural and silken, in near perfect harmony with fine tannins and a rounded mouthfeel cut through by a fine line of acidity. The complexity and integration have built this wine to last for decades, while already offering immediate drinking pleasure from the cool vintage. Excellent. Drink or hold." - James Suckling

Tasting notes Stuart Pigott, SENIOR EDITOR JAMES SUCKLING:

"I always pick wines that I have some personal connection with for Christmas, because they bring back those special moments of discovery.

When I visited the Standish Wine Company in Australia’s Barossa Valley with James and the team on the afternoon of Oct. 4 this year, I knew nothing except that some of Dan Standish’s wines had been given high ratings in the past. It was a cold wet day and I felt exhausted from hard work in the tasting room.

Then the Standish Wine Company Barossa Valley The Schubert Theorem 2020 completely blew my mind. It had the kind of fragrance, creamy texture and incredible length of a great red Burgundy, but all the spice of the shiraz, aka Syrah, grape. Tears came to my eyes and they may do so again on Christmas Day when I open the single bottle of this wine I was able to purchase from the German importer right after that tasting."
