Jeremy Oliver 93 points!"A wonderful, deep and brooding young pinot whose piercing flavours of sweet cherry and musk, five spice, plums and sweet, lightly toasty vanilla oak present themselves in layer after layer of depth and intrigue. It's far too early to get the most from its suggestions of chocolate, meat and wet forest floor, but its richness and power suggest it will be worth the wait."

Robert Parker 93 points!"Make no mistake about it ... this a brilliant Pinot Noir, undoubtedly one of the finest being produced in Australia. Unfined and unfiltered, it is already throwing a hefty film of sediment because of its natural winemaking. Cote de Nuits-like characteristics are evident in the gorgeously sweet, plum, berry, and cherry fruit flavors infused with cinnamon and allspice. The wine is are full-bodied, beautifully concentrated, with superb purity, creamy, big, thick, Burgundian-like texture (that has not been foolishly acidified), and a long, concentrated finish. Extremely complex, and more forward and evolved than most Burgundies are at a similar age, this a beautifully made wine. This is a brilliant effort."
