"A museum release at 10 years old. Vibrant purple red colour. Aromatically intense, some gamey secondary characters but also still has amazing dense, plummy blue fruit and white pepper. Textually it is soft and rounded, with an intensity of rounded tannins in the mid palate, and finishes with freshness, a perfumed lift, and lingering flavours. A fully mature wine, which is ready to drink now, or over the next 5 years." - Sandra de Pury
"Shiraz from one of Australia’s greatest estates.
You name it, it’s here. This is the antithesis of a simple red. Every time you sip you find something different. It runs with redcurrant but from there come breakouts of meat, violets, black pepper, jellied liquorice, stems and mint. Tannin is grunty, almost grainy, with cloves and peppers studded through. The texture generally is quite silken but the wine as a whole does not go quietly, as indeed it shouldn’t. Beyond a certain price point we want more than mere fruit; the brief is met here. Excellent wine. For the dinner table, we sail. 93+ points." - Campbell Mattinson, Wine Front
