| Description: | 93 pts Nick Stock, JamesSuckling.com - "A very fragrant, aromatic style with attractive, fresh red flowers and sappy, bunchy raspberries and boysenberries. The palate has a very complete, supple and smooth-honed feel with a seamless build of finely layered tannins. Drink now. Screw cap." 93 pts Halliday Wine Companion - "Fermented with 30% whole bunches, matured in French oak, the best barrels selected for this wine. A fragrant bouquet and fresh red fruit palate. Counterintuitively, significant tannins add a dimension to the juicy fruit." 92 pts Gary Walsh, The Wine Front - "Seems to have moved from the Barossa to McLaren Vale in 2019. Ripe raspberry, brown spice, subtle earthiness. It's ripe and spicy, ripples with tannin and raspberry ripple, a bit of meatiness and minty perfume, slightly saline, plump and juicy finish. Rock solid. Good drinking here." 91 pts Huon Hooke, The Real Review - "Deep purple/red color, bright, the bouquet showing youthful dried banana estery notes as well as purple fruits - dark plum and dark cherry. It's medium to full-bodied and firm in the mouth, with intensity and bold flavor that lingers on. It needs a little time and/or protein-rich food to soften it at this juncture." |
