"The colour is a very dark maroon. The immediate aromas are of dried herbs, warm earth and then a sweet core of black cherries and chocolate. Full-flavoured and concentrated, the wine is impressively balanced. It really picks up on the palate. Good acidity runs the full length of the wine. It is certainly delicious now, but it needs time to really show its full glories. A serious wine, it has ten to twenty years ahead of it. Big, bold and impressive." - Ken Gargett, Winepilot
"Made from grapes grown in Coonawarra and McLaren Vale, it's gorgeously complex and enticing on the nose with sweet fruit richness combined with mixed spice, cedar, vanilla and smoky bacon nuances. The palate delivers excellent weight and power, as well as plush mouthfeel and silky tannins. Opulent and sumptuous with a lengthy delicious finish." - Sam Kim, Wine Orbit
