Campbell Mattinson 95 points!
Campbell Mattinson 95 points!It spends 20 days on skins. Sees all French oak " all two barrels of it. Open fermented and then basket pressed. It's a wine of perfume and softness and inherent wizened strength. The oak is a touch showy now, in its infancy, but it'll fold in soon enough, and it's beautiful oak anyway. Spiced fruits. Bright but minerally. Balanced. I took one sip and thought, Thank Christ, it's a beauty. What a gem of an addition to Australian wine. It's a wine of learning, listening, loving. There's bugger all of it; buy some.
