James Halliday Tasting Note
Deep crimson-purple; this medium to full-bodied estate-grown wine has an outstanding mix of varietal and regional expression on both bouquet and palate; blackberry and satsuma plum play tag with each other, fine tannins and cedary oak providing the boundary lines for the tag-team. A classy wine with the option of early or late drinking. Drink by: 2027. Score – 95. (James Halliday, winecompanion.com.au, July 26, 2014)
