Sam Kim - Wine Orbit

Powerful and opulent while remaining gracious and harmonious, this beautifully maturing wine is filled with dark fruit intensity, cedary oak, cake spice, leather, and mocha characters. The impressively concentrated palate offers a multi-layered mouthfeel, combined with grainy tannins, making it firmly structured and delivering an impressively long, satisfying finish.

Halliday Wine Companion

Open-fermented, 26 months maturation in new and used French and American oak. A complex wine that certainly shows its sojourn in oak, but has enough savoury blackberry and mulberry fruits to sustain that oak; the tannins are fine, and underpin the length of the palate. Luxury packaging with a first class cork, perfectly inserted.

Ken Gargett - Winepilot

Not often we get to enjoy a wine of such age, which comes from a great region and a superb vintage, and is also cracking value. What is not to love? Under cork. Dark maroon in colour, the nose reveals notes of chocolates, herbs, mocha, spices, black fruits, truffles, bay leaves and just a hint of mint. Good oak integration, as you would expect after all this time, and good intensity throughout. There is still freshness here. The wine is of medium to good length and finishes with fine, sleek tannins, perhaps ever so slightly reminiscent of talc in texture. The palate sees the emergence of notes of coffee grinds, bergamot and warm earth. Surely, this still has a decade of pleasure ahead of it.
