Critic Reviews

96 Points — James Halliday, Halliday Wine Companion
Tasted 16 October 2001
“Still dense and strong in colour, the bouquet is primarily powered by sweet blackcurrant fruit, the palate packed with dense blackcurrant/blackberry fruit, the tannins still to fully soften but in balance.”
Published 18 June 2021

94 Points — Jeremy Oliver
Tasted January 2003
Drinking Window: 2008–2016.
