Critics Ratings

'Complex aromas: a little minty but also with a sweet gaminess and some sweet dark chocolate. Distinctive style - a cross between Rhône and S Australia. Tight, juicy and very good length. Needs time to become more integrated and a little less in your face.' - Julia Harding MW, Jancis Robinson MW, JancisRobinson.com, 17/20 (Oct 2009)

'Richly layered, with suave mocha and cocoa notes running through lush blackberry, fig and raspberry ganache notes. Long, alluring finish is finely grained.' - James Molesworth, Wine Spectator, 91/100 (Apr 2008)
