Critics Ratings
'2015 is the first vintage of The Mackenzie since 2003 to feature all five Bordeaux grapes, with Cabernet Sauvignon in pole position. Aged in 70% new wood, it's a dense, compact, structured wine with grippy tannins, aromas of cedarwood and graphite, sinewy damson and blackcurrant fruit and the concentration to age.' - Tim Atkin MW, SA Special Report 2019, 94/100
Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc, Malbec, Petit Verdot blend, 2015 similar deep flavours & dark fruit to 2014 (92 pts), framed by dry chalky tannins. More New World than classic - assertive & concentrated. Touch more new oak (70%), but as before, has pedigree to age a decade.' - Platter's SA Wine Guide 2019, 4.5* (91/100)
