Drink now through 2020. 15 cases imported".- Wine Enthusiast. "Notes of chocolate-covered coffee bean add richness to the ripe blackberry and plum flavors, with fragrant details of dried violet and cigar box complementing the savory notes of meaty black olive on the finish. Shows plenty of intensity and focus, offset by fleshy tannins. Drink now through 2030." - Wine Spectator. " The most powerful, complete and long of the four 2013 wines tasted, this has a heady mix of liquorice, cassis, toasty oak spices and crushed purple flowers, really fresh, smells concentrated and full of ripe dark purple and black fruits – cassis, plum and blackberry, some redder fruits here too. The palate has a powerful core of deep tannin with density and depth, really assertive and long, immense composure, a superb wine with clarity, refined power and length. Best from 2022." - James Suckling. "a blend of 57% Cabernet Sauvignon and 43% Shiraz, the deep garnet/purple 2013 The Peake Cabernet Shiraz has pronounced cassis, mulberry and plum aromas with cedar, menthol, pencil lead and bay leaf with crushed stone hints. Medium to full-bodied and intense, there is a full-on wall of fruit in the mouth supported by a solid backbone of grainy tannins and enough acid freshness on the long finish." - Robert Parker |
