"Quite classic Coonawarra aromas of cassis, black cherry, cedar, pencil shavings, eucalyptus and a lift of ferrous earth. Firm, structured and built for the long haul. Flavours are in the dark fruit zone, along with spice and a leafy mintiness. The tannins are chalky and serious and the length is impressive. A wine to cellar 2024 Drink 2024–2039. 95 points." - Aaron Brasher, The Real Review
"First Growth is only produced when the growing season produces exceptional fruit quality, and when a particular vintage is deemed to have ageing potential beyond 15 years. First Growth is made from predominantly Cabernet Sauvignon fruit from our Abbey vineyard, with some vintages containing a small portion of Merlot and/or Petit Verdot. It is a wine that proudly reflects the sub-region it is grown in and is humbled by critical reviews and unfailing benchmark scores from international wine critics." - Parker Estate
