Critics Ratings

'Single vineyard. Gently sweet and dark-fruited aromas and some red cherry. Really fresh and fine but noticeable grain to the tannins. Moreish and mouthwatering. So youthful though there's a hint of something more meaty on the finish.' - Julia Harding MW, JancisRobinson.com (October 2012), 17.5/20

'If Stork is the boisterous young maiden, this is the chaperone. 06 mineral lines to piercing ethereal spice, serious but ordered, powerful length of flavour. All-new Fr oak 22 months.' - Platter's SA Wine Guide 2005, 4.5*

'This is showing well, with the extra bottle age lending a perfumy edge to the toasty spice, licorice, plum sauce and fig paste notes that have all melded together now. There's still plenty of stuffing, and though slightly roasted in feel the finish stays fresh enough, with ample graphite-fueled length. Syrah... 250 cases made.' - Wine Spectator (April 2012), 92/100
