95 / 100"Some fruit comes off the Undoolya vineyard planted in 1894. This has slipped comfortably into a seamless wine. Supple, ripe fruit, lightly spiced with cedar, licorice root and cinnamon. The palate is fuller bodied but so restrained. The tannins are absurdly fine, with length like no tomorrow"

95 / 100
"Deep crimson. Intense pure blackberry kirsch cassis aromas with dark chocolate, roasted chestnut notes. Generous and chocolaty textured with ripe black berry, red and dark cherry fruits, fine velvety bitter-sweet tannins and underlying dark chocolate, mocha, vanilla notes. Finishes Claret-firm and inky with persistent cassis, dark berry notes. A retro-modern style evoking the Coonawarra Claret styles of yesteryear and the refinements of modern viticulture and winemaking. Based on “old vine” shiraz from the 1894-planted Undoolya Vineyard, the 1925-planted Johnston Block vines and other older blocks. A very fine vintage."
