95 / 100"Deep, rich red colour with a faint purple tinge, the bouquet is spicy and vegetal, Rhône-ish and complex. The palate is soft and fleshy, supple and delicious, with developed savoury characters and lovely mellow charm. A very smart wine and remarkably soft and fleshy for a Mudgee red"

Tasting Notes
It’s supremely age worthy, varietal and expressive of the terroir, displaying exceptional tannins and palate while offering extraordinarily good value.
As smooth and as fruity as you’d expect from the variety; the fine tannins are well managed to provide structure and length as well as the ability to age. Mudgee produces outstanding Shiraz in both the warm and cool years.
