Critics Ratings

'As usual, 2012 augments its Cabernet Sauvignon base (here 10% Petit Verdot and a drop of Cabernet Franc). Classic notes of cedar with fresh dark cassis lead to intense flavours; lovely firm Cabernet tannins need time to harmonise, but all-new oak unobtrusive. More elegant, dry and less sweetly rich than many top Cabernets.' - Platter's SA Wine Guide 2017, 4.5*

'Continuing a rich vein of form that began with the 2010 vintage, the latest release of Glenelly's flagship wine is intense, deeply coloured and very stylish. Dense, pure and shimmering with class, it has fine-boned tannins, well integrated oak and considerable ageing potential. A superb wine that could compete with many a classed growth claret. Drink: 2017-27.' - Tim Atkin SA Special Report 2015, 95/100
