95 points Halliday Wine Companion
91.6% cabernet sauvignon, the balance merlot and petit verdot. Matured for 15 months in a mix of new and older French hogsheads. A dense sort of bouquet at this stage, comprised of black fruits with a cedary oak presence and some earthy/gamey characters. Deep, dark flavours saturate the palate and linger on the finish, but are yet to fully reveal themselves.

Medium deep crimson. Fresh developed ripe black berry, cassis, espresso mocha aromas with polish/ shellac notes. Generous and supple with dense blackberry mulberry mocha flavours, fine sinuous tannins and underlying peaty/ roasted walnut/ aniseed notes. Builds up leafy/ chewy firm with plentiful dark fruits and cola notes. A voluminous Barossa claret style with attractive density and attack. Drink now – 2034. 14.5% Drink now – 2032.
