  94 points Halliday Wine Companion

Fruit from the Abbey vineyard and the Kidman Clytha block. Matured for 15 months in French oak (20% new). Garden mint, eucalypt, blackforest fruits and abundant exotic spice. This is earthy and rich and loaded with flavour. In the mouth, the muscular tannins become a central part of the experience, intermeshed with the fruit and shaping the long, tailing finish. Get this one in a decanter if you're drinking it in the next few years – it will sing.

Deepish ruby colour with purple to the meniscus, the bouquet suggesting crushed seashells and iodine, which also comes through on the palate. Crushed leaves, too. It's full-bodied and rich, chewy and ample, but undercut by some bitterness in the tannins. Food recommended.
