Winery notes (2021 Vintage)
"Dreadnought 2021 is a stunningly complex wine, loaded with red, black and blue berry fruits, lifted stem complexity, iodine, graphite, with florals unfolding and ever-evolving. The palate is focused with impressive weight, balanced with wonderful length, acidity and tannin all elevated with the vigour of the stem inclusion. It is classically styled, a beautiful vintage reflected in a magnificent wine."
Rated Outstanding & 95/100 Cameron Douglas MS, November 2024
"Wood smoke and sweet spices, dark berries and black currant, earthy and new with fresh French oak sweet scents and a positive reductive complexity. Even better on the palate with precise flavours of raspberry and black currant , the tannins and acidity accentuate frame the core fruit with a youthful palate squeeze and unctuous salivating effect. Lengthy, youthful and delicious. Best drinking from day of purchase through 2032."

"Complex aromas of dark berries, dried meat, sandalwood and cloves follow through to a full body with juicy fruit and polished tannins. Long and persistent, with complexity and layers. I like the fine velvet texture. Drink or hold. Screw cap."
