95 points Halliday Wine Companion
Concentrated red and black berried fruit; touches of reduction; sweet herbs and toasty, coconut cream-like notes. This is rich, plush, robust and velvety textured all at once. Satisfying and then some.
Vintage 2016
95 points Wine Orbit
A gloriously rich red, the instantly appealing bouquet shows blackberry, blueberry compote, vanillin oak, dark chocolate and cake spice aromas, followed by a powerfully expressed palate that is succulent and fleshy. The wine displays impressive fruit concentration backed by supple mouthfeel and loads of polished tannins. At its best: now to 2026
