JM 1ST APPROACH

....... Very clean, with fine-grained, powdery tannins. A precision wine, which drinks superbly now and will age very well. The extra age before release is a bonus." Rating: 97 points. Huon Hooke,

 ... tannins and fruit, working seamlessly together; the length of flavour is nothing short of staggering, and while a joy to drink as a young wine, patient cellaring will be well rewarded." Rating: 96 points. James Halliday

.... a wonderful balance of warm toasty flavours on the finish. The structure of this wine shows both the power of a typical multi layered Leeuwin Estate Art Series Chardonnay with an underlying elegance. For mine, among the best young Art Series Chardonnay I have tried, and I have them all back to 1999, and a classic in the making with time in the cellar. Will develop brilliantly ... world class wine! - Gavin Trott

.. Wonderfully generous palate is ripe and slippery but not sweet. Not hard to like a juicy, ripe, no-nonsense Vale Shiraz like this. 17.5/91 points Australian Wine Review

... meat, spice and dark fruits on the nose ... and soft silky tannins with a long finish. Polished and fascinating.  93 points James Suckling

...enticing rather than overbearing and it lingers beautifully on the finish. A fine wine for the price .... Winingpom

... Has an earthy goodness about it too. Benefits from a quick slosh in the decanter. Excellent red wine. Rated : 92 Points Winefront

... even and perfectly pitched with an impressively long palate. Cranberry freshness and a sort of almond flavour add further appeal. Likely to improve and gain complexity, if you can wait. Irresistible. GW Score: 95+ points Drink: 2013-2020+.

Pure essence-y, concentrated and deep: strawberries – fruit and pips – plus toffee. There’s brick dust and older oak Stilton-like smells too. Fabulous. And the palate is fabulous too, but more specifically it is super-deep fruited, intense, slippery textured. 96/100, 10/10, $63. Tim White AFR

Savoury spice, earth aromas turning to liquorice and plum jam; richly fruit-sweet, fleshy, concentrated. Marvellous for this price and worth cellaring. 14.5 per cent alcohol. 93/100. Huon Hooke
... savoury Moroccan spices and fresh earth, plus traces of licorice and plum jam. Soft and fruit-sweet in the mouth, it has an abundant fleshy texture, good concentration of sweet fruit, and a firm tannin grip to finish. A serious red for hearty food, and for cellaring. Gourmet Traveller Wine
