Winery notes (2020 Vintage)
"The aroma offers generous layers of black currant, peppery spice, slated liquorish and toasted almonds. The rich and dense palate continue with sweet spice, dark berries and just a hint of vanilla and smoke char. Abundant fine tannins are interwoven with the core of sweet black fruits and introduces you to the multilayered flavours."
5 Stars & 94/100 Sam Kim, Wine Orbit, April 2022 (2020 Vintage)
"Superbly ripe and enticing with blackberry, dark plum, violet, cedar and mixed spice aromas, it's succulent and flavoursome in the mouth offering excellent power and persistency. Upfront and mouthfilling, making it highly enjoyable. At its best: now to 2032."
4 ½ Stars & Top 10, Cuisine Australian Shiraz Tasting, June 2023 (2020 Vintage)
"Deep, dense and inky in the glass with expressive aromas of dark, brooding fruit and eucalypt on the nose. The entry into the palate features a fruit explosion which balances out beautifully. Everything here is big and bold – fruit, oak, tannin – but it all works in perfect harmony."
93/100 James Suckling 2022 (2020 Vintage)
"Intense aromas of star anise and a candied character, as well as the blue fruits we expect from this category. Impressive depth and structure, the full body easily filled out by the ample healthy tannins. I love the long and emphatically dry finish that pulls you back for more. Drink or hold. Screw cap."
