Critics Ratings
‘Ruby-red. Slightly reduced aromas of black raspberry, mocha and leather. Densely packed and spicy, showing more energy and aromatic lift in the middle palate than the lusher 2003. Syrah-typical brown spices carry through to the finish, which shows substantial dusty tannins and finesse.’ - Stephen Tanzer, Vinous, 91/100 (Mar 2007)
‘A dash of Mourvèdre (6%) spices up this confident Rhône-style red. 2004 shows wet earth and scrub scents mingled with the wines’s trademark leather tone; round tannins approachable yet with life for 5+ yrs. 16 months oak, American portion down to 20%.’ - Platter’s SA Wine Guide 2008, 4*
