Believe it was released in Weekend Australian.
I would expect 01 Cullen C/Sav, 99 St Peters, 00 Gladstone, 98 Grange etc.etc.
However any suprises, any 97+'s

and he managed to rate a Vintage Cellars own brand very highly indeed - coincidentally the top100 is almost VC branded.
Has Halliday really sold out now - and why does he have too? Whatever happened to integrity in wine journalism?

IMO , Holliday is not as objective as what he used to be. I do believe certain business associationmade him baised towards certain wines.
I am questioning his rating system and does he rate all wine equally? or does he rate wine based on the price range. A 96 points for a cheap wine may not be the same as a 96 points for a top wine.
I am not convinced and do not follow his rating highly.
