| Description: | 94pts Gary Walsh, The Wine Front - Beheading an ‘immortal' producers a burst of energy called a ‘Quickening'. Not to be confused with ‘The Pentaveret', who run everything in the world, including the newspapers. Cool fragrance of dried flowers, sage and thyme, black fruit and spice. It's kind of juicy in the blackcurrant and blackberry department, with well-knit tannin giving a confident but gentle grip, fresh feel, and a long and subtly mentholated peppery finish. Very nice. You could well crave it fortnightly. 93pts Nick Stock, JamesSuckling.com - A smoothly delivered shiraz that has deep, fleshy and seductive appeal. The fresh blackberry, plum and mulberry aromas are nicely dosed with oak spice and deliver such soft, smooth style on the palate. Really effortless drinkability. Drink now. Screw cap. 92pts Huon Hooke, The Real Review - Deep, bold purple/red color, with a lovely spicy, plummy, fragrance including various berries, the palate fleshy and supple, smooth and engaging, with delicious flavor and balance. Some cola and Campari nuances. Very soft, fleshy tannins give it a lovely silken texture. |
