Critics Ratings
'Return to form for 2009 & 2010, both reviewed. Violet perfume with chunky, brambly plum generosity. Alcohol of 15.2% on latter doesn't trouble but oak needs some time to knit harmoniously.' - Platter's SA Wine Guide 2013, 4*
'A gutsy, mouthfilling style, with dark fig bread, plum jam, blackberry paste and toasted spice notes all bouncing through the juicy finish. Drink now.' - James Molesworth, Wine Spectator (Feb 2013)
'Opulent, plush, textured and mouth coating, this is a wine that has is all about head-turning first impressions. The alcohol is on the high side, but this is smartly oaked and well balanced, given its rich, almost jammy power and concentration. More of a Shiraz than a Syrah.' - Tim Atkin MW, SA Special Report 2013, 93/100
