Critics Ratings

'(5*) replicates 11's light violet whiffs & expressive plum, berry fruit & spice highlights. Trademark precision & nuanced subtlety. Dry, fine tannin partly from the older oak, 27 months. Wellington fruit, as always.' - Platter's SA Wine Guide 2015, 5*

'Very ripe, but pure and focused, with a range of black cherry, damson plum and cassis fruit that courses along, lined with subtle iron and black tea notes. Drives through a long, energetic finish... 200 cases imported.' - Wine Spectator (May 2015), 93/100

'Bright ruby-red. Deep aromas of blueberry, violet, chocolate, liquorice pastille and black pepper. A pure, vinous midweight, with a very smooth texture and a sweet oak component that contributes to its appeal. Finishes with serious building, tongue-coating tannins.' - Stephen Tanzer, Vinous.com (June 2015), 91/100
