Critics Ratings

'Distinctive character (& name) from 24-yr-old single-clone vineyard. Serious 07 built for cellaring: dense black fruit, lots of freshness & substantial tannins, evident wood from 20 months cask, 45% new. Riper vintage not as minty as standout 06.' - Platter's SA Wine Guide 2010, 4.5*

'Gorgeous mint and warm coffee aromas give way to a plush, stylish core of black currant, melted fig and açaí berry flavors. Roasted vanilla, loam and black tea notes weave through the finish. Seamless, complex and long. Drink now through 2015.' - James Molesworth, Wine Spectator, 92/100 (Apr 2010)

'Bright medium ruby. Cassis, licorice and eucalyptus on the nose. Supple, sweet and lush but dominated by cassis fruit today; loads of early appeal here but not yet showing its complexity. Less minty in the mouth than some earlier vintages of this wine. Finishes broad and sweet, with surprisingly suave tannins and a late note of licorice.' - Stephen Tanzer, Vinous, 91/100 (Mar 2011)
