93 POINTS

Sam Kim - Wine Orbit

This is immediately appealing on the nose, showing notes of dark plum, sweet cherry, mixed spice, and toasted almond, leading to a silky-smooth palate filled with juicy fruit flavours, backed by supple tannins, finishing long and flavoursome.

Dave Brookes - Halliday Wine Companion

Deep magenta/crimson with notes of bright red and dark plum fruits along with hints of dark cherry and boysenberry, baking spices, milk chocolate, fruitcake, crushed rocks, violets and panforte. Bright, lifted fruit on the palate with a fine, sandy tannin architecture, bright acidity and just a touch of raspberry lift on the fade out.

Christina Pickard - Wine Enthusiast

Red berry jam, a hint of licorice with hedgerow aromas of fresh herbs and sap open on this comparatively lightweight wine, by Shiraz standards anyway. It's mid-weight and silky on the palate with plenty of succulent fruit and soft tannins that give this a round shape and a level of approachability now.
