Critics Ratings

'This 50% new oak-aged Merlot is a thing of wonder: plush, balanced and self-assured with flavours of chocolate, vanilla spice and dark berries, a hint of green herbs and layered tannins. Long and very complex with impressive elegance for the vintage. 2020-30.' - Tim Atkin MW, SA Special Report 2019, 94/100

'All-new oak & selection of special vineyard parcels show in the fruit intensity, layers of spicing & sleek structure. Impressive 2015 beat off contenders in Wine Cellar's 2019 SA versus Bordeaux blind taste-off, 2016 as beautiful & built to last - a great future ahead.' - Platter's SA Wine Guide 2017, 5* (95/100)
