Critics Ratings

‘2009 from shiraz with a little viognier to augment perfume; opulent & polished, with super-ripe fruit. Flavour intensity holds the oak (60% new) & high alc (15.5%) with savoury aplomb.’ – Platter's SA Wine Guide, 4*

‘Not shy, featuring loads of bramble, anise, blackberry paste and fig notes, all backed by a muscular, licorice snap-filled finish. Shows the length and cut for balance. Best from 2014 through 2020.’ – James Molesworth, Wine Spectator, 93/100 (Jul 2013)
