Deep red/purple colour with a very fresh, nuanced, aromatic bouquet loaded with blue and red fruits, cedar and high-toned flowers, violets to the fore. A totally gorgeous bouquet, very fresh and primary but also complex and detailed. Very fine tannins; extremely long carry. A supremely elegant, sublime wine that finishes right out with impressive extension. Clearly, the best Tom Cullity to date." - Huon Hooke
"The nose is tightly intermingled perfume carries Tom’s Block characters of savoury tobacco, earthy forest and nori-like ocean breeze. Delicate red berry notes move into savoury tones of cherry pip, mushroom, white clay, brie rind and tamari. A floral fragrance of violets frames this elegant vintage.
On the palate, a restrained and ethereal rendition of Margaret River Cabernet, the body is plush and shapely, with lovely red berry fruit characters and super fine, talc-like tannins of unbelievable length. Graceful and sophisticated with a savoury core, the delicate complexity of perfumes linger on the long, drying finish." - Vasse Felix
"I was struck from the outset by its elegance. It’s 14.5% alcohol but it’s medium in weight at most. There’s tension here but it’s in a context of calmness; confidence. Bay leaf notes, boysenberry and plum, mint, a creaminess, a cool blackcurrant, liquorice. There’s an ‘aussie bush spice’ aspect to the nose in particular but it’s there on the palate too. You can pretty much read peppercorn/eucalypt into that. Tannin is fine and generally even. Clearly it’s more about the future than the now. In short, it’s a classy, confident, medium-weight wine with a lovely future ahead of it." - Campbell Mattinson, Wine Front
