Critic Reviews
95pts Halliday Wine Companion "There's so much power and intensity of flavour, it's hard to know where to start. OK, how about the fabulous ruby-purple hue first, then the florals baking spices, pepper and charry oak aromas, all flowing onto the full-bodied palate. Lots of poppy, bright fruit, especially plums and berries, an intriguing ferrous note in the meix, with tannins aplenty." Jane Faulkner
Gold, 2024 Decanter World Wine Awards, London "Oozing prowess and decadence with its captivating dark berry and plum fruit and superb spicy, peppery infusion. Firm and meaty with a lengthy granite finish."
Cellaring Potential
Will certainly reward 5-10 years in your cellar (for those who can wait).
