Description
96 Points James Halliday
Deep crimson-purple; the fragrant bouquet sets the scene for the cascade of blackcurrant, redcurrant and cedary oak (over 30 months in barriques), supple tannins providing the framework for long-term cellaring. One of the blue bloods of Margaret River, and in scintillating form, the small amount of petit verdot and cabernet franc precisely weighted.
97 Points Huon Hooke
Deep, dark red/purple: excellent colour. Almond meal and walnut, bayleaf over dark fruit aromas. Rich, full-bodied, robust wine with lovely fleshy texture and ample fine-grained tannins that run the full length of the palate. An excellent deep-set core of sweet fruit. Delicious wine: long, complete, satisfying. Drink: 2013-2040.
