97/100 James Halliday's Wine Companion (2021 Vintage)
"Sourced from adjacent rows of 40-year-old vines hand-pruned to control the yield to 5t/ha. Cold maceration and pressed direct to oak for 18 months in French hogsheads. This is a seriously good cabernet from an excellent vintage. Its length is exceptional, as is its structure and slinky tannins, part fruit, part oak."
5 Stars & 96/100 Sam Kim, Wine Orbit, June 2023 (2021 Vintage)
"This is superbly fruited and complex on the nose, showing crème de cassis, anise, vanillin oak and dark chocolate aromas. The palate offers excellent concentration and plush texture, wonderfully complemented by expansive mouthfeel and finely infused tannins. Long and satisfying with plenty of delicious flavours. At its best: now to 2039."
95/100 Ken Gargett, WinePilot.com, June 2023 (2021 Vintage)
"Under diam, this hails from a 40-year-old vineyard in Coonawarra. After an extended maceration, this was pressed directly to French oak hogsheads for 18 months maturation. Inky purple. This is concentrated, plush, focused. The nose offers alluring blackberries, licorice, beef stock, spices, a hint of mint and warm bitumen. Balanced, elegant, intense and very long, with silky tannins. This is one for the long haul. The palate moves to notes of bergamot and mulberries. There is early evidence of the complexity which is surely to come. Drink over the next ten to fifteen years."
