Critics Ratings
'Barrel selection, named for home-vineyard altitude. Cabernet-led Bordeaux blend and Shiraz, each playing their part in 2009. Plush dark berries, whiffs of salty liquorice, scrub, backed by muscular tannins designed for long, slow, bottle evolution.' - Platter's SA Wine Guide 2013, 4.5*
'Mature, with coffee, roasted vanilla, dark earth and smoldering tobacco leaf notes leading to a solid core of dark currant, plum and blackberry fruit, well-mulled and lined with olive and black tea accents. A long, sweet cedar detail lets the finish glide.' - James Molesworth, Wine Spectator, 93/100 (Sept 2016)
