97 / 100"It's one out of the box. It pours on the flavour and the tannin and the charm, and it's about as persistent as you could ever hope a wine to be. Blackcurrant, a light coat of milk chocolate, bay leaves and assorted olives and spices. The flavours aren't really the thing, it's the power, the length, the irrepressibility of it. You could cellar this for just about ever."

"From Great Southern and Margaret River: wild-fermented and extended post-fermentation maceration: matured in French barriques (60% new) for 20 months. This is Burch Family Wines' big dog, immensely powerful and deeply structured, blackcurrant, dried herbs and grainy tannins all competing for space and attention. Demands time, and will be very long lived."
- James Halliday
