"Ink black at the core to a deeply-tinted ruby-red rim. A rich and complex nose, mixed berries and oak spices lift from the glass. Voluminous and weighty, the fruit concentration is impressive yet doesn't fall into the jammy spectrum. Equally, the oak complexities are unmistakeable, but everything is in remarkable harmony and balance for such a young wine. A prodigious length and it finishes with a clean vibrancy and a hint of mint freshness that belies its previous intensity." - Real Review
"Although the individual components of this wine are mighty, the sum of the Peake’s parts is magnificent. The Cabernet shines aromatically with notes of blackberry pie and dark chocolate, while the Shiraz fills the mid-palate with black plum and toasty oak. Fine tannins and balanced acidity contribute to an incredibly long finish. The Peake continues to honour the legacy of this iconic Australian blend." - Hickinbotham
