92/100 from Parkers Wine Advocate,"The Homage is sourced from vines planted in 1994 and cropped at 17hl/ha and matured for 18 months in French barriques. The 2009 Gimblett Gravels Homage Syrah offers ripe, pure blackberry and blueberry aromas with underlying notes of peppercorns, baking spices, earth, tree bark and mulberries. Medium bodied and taut in the mouth, the muscular blackberry and earth flavors are well supported by a firm level of fine grained tannins and crisp acidity. The finish is long and savory. Drink it 2012 through 2018+." Also 5 Stars by M.Cooper who writes "Blended with 2% Viognier its densely coloured and floral, it has lovely mouthfeel and harmony, with substantial body, concentrated blackcurrant, plum, spice liquorice and perpper flavours, gentle tannins, and a flowing, finely textured finish."
