AWARDS & ACCOLADES:
96/100; “Wonderfully fruited and seductively complex, the wine shows dark fruit richness with cedar, dried herb, game and dark cocoa notes on the nose. It's concentrated and richly flavoursome on the palate, while remaining stylish and harmonious, leading to a lengthy sumptuous finish.” - Sam Kim, Wine Orbit
94/100; “Dense, dark red/purple colour. The bouquet is very spicy, intense and bold, the palate concentrated and brightly youthful, layered with sumptuous tannins, with blood plum and star anise aromas and flavours. It's penetrating and powerful, the tannins firm and upright, the aftertaste very long-lasting. An impressive, young, shiraz-driven red with a big future.” - Huon Hooke, The Real Review
