A ripe, full bodied wine It shows an aroma reminiscent of plums and chocolate with a touch of earthy complexity. The palate is rich and full of black-fruits and has a long soft finish.[more info]
Terrific wine. lime juice and lemon sherbert. Chalky and fennel-like through the finish. Lots of length, and a touch of grip. Heaps of aroma. Seriously dry. Incredibly pure. The flavour flows like adjectives. Or superlatives. On and on. 94 Wine Front[more info]
a bit Torbreck-esque in style perhaps, although finer boned and far more lively - certainly more affordable. Very bloody drinkable now but should look more settled and savoury with a couple of years under its belt. Excellent 94 Points Winefront.com.au[more info]
Classy. It looked better the longer it sat in the glass and really needs a little more time to settle and develop (it did not get it as the bottle was empty that same night)... The price is very modest considering the quality. 95 Points Winefront.com.au[more info]
Good crimson; well-balanced and integrated fruit and oak; luscious flavours, with some confit fruit elements on the way through to the finish. Ludicrous price. Screwcap. 90 points James Halliday Wine Companion[more info]
A beautifully crafted wine with great depth and power; incredibly rich, with lashings of fine French oak and stone fruits; the depth and power is offset by lively acidity, and a complex mineral core. 96 points James Halliday Wine Companion[more info]
.. with a slick of firm grainy tannin, although has excellent fruit and flavour to balance. Long and satisfying - closes with yet another slick of strong black tea tannin. Leave it alone for a good while. A bargain for the cellar 92 Winefront.com.au[more info]
A complex wine, bringing together strong stone fruit, melon and citrus cool-climate characters augmented by barrel ferment oak and lees inputs. Bargain. Screwcap 13° alc. 95 points James Halliday Wine Companion[more info]
