95 / 100"This is opulent, dense and sumptuous. The gloriously expressed bouquet shows black/blueberry, dark chocolate, game and cedar characters. It is superbly concentrated and richly fruited on the palate, delivering waves of delicious flavours and velvety texture, firmly structured by fine, grainy tannins. A striking shiraz promising to evolve magnificently. At its best: 2019 to 2030."

"Very deep red/purple colour, the bouquet lovely and fresh, clean and deep in various black fruit aromas. A full bodied, concentrated, profound wine with lush fruit and delicious flavour. A refreshing, clean, firm-tannin finish that resonates on and on, partly as a result of the high alcohol. A textbook shiraz. Big future indicated."

This wine is an excellent example of the outstanding results possible, when an allegiance between growers and winemakers creates their best expression of the varietal and vintage.
