Vintage 2016
95 points Halliday Wine Companion
Estate-grown with low crops and barrel-fermented with 70% new oak and matured over 26 months. Full throttle shiraz. Lifted ripe jammy black fruit, dark chocolate, brown spices and vanilla. That sweet core of fruit is cantilevered against a flood of cocoa powder tannins that ultimately move the wine from sweet to savoury.

Vintage 2020
97 points Wine Orbit
97pts - Gracefully opulent with seductive complexity, the wine shows dark fruit richness, warm spice, cedary oak, potpourri and mocha notes on the nose. The palate displays outstanding concentration and depth, wonderfully complemented by seamless flow and expansive mouthfeel. Fine grainy tannins provide sturdy structure, finishing persistent and gratifying. At its best: 2026 to 2040. $180.00. www.thickerthanwaterwines.com.au. March 2023.
