Campbell Mattinson 93 points!
Campbell Mattinson 93 points!"In some ways it's a warm, rich (for a southern Victorian red, anyway) wine with flavours of cherry liqueur and licorice and blackberry nip. In other ways though it's spicy and cool, with a meaty, almost smoky savouriness that almost comes across as bitter. There are raspberry notes too and probably some reductive elements - it sure is complex. Its pepperiness is black and its tannins are firm, almost forceful. I didn't really enjoy drinking this wine but I suspect that it'll be excellent given a few more years to develop - it's a bet each way but there's so much going on here that you'd have to think it will come to something. There's almost a mineral aspect to the tannin; I'm stepping in its favour."
