  Rich nose loaded with ripe mulberry, wild blueberry, boysenberry and eucalyptus. Full-bodied, this is loaded with ripe black fruits, eucalyptus, tangy acidity and a striking, salty oyster-shell minerality. Hopefully the acid comes into balance with time as it is currently at the fore. Still a baby, give it a few more years. Drink 2026-2036+ 93+

  Quite restrained versus my expectations: mint, tobacco, violets, perfumed red and dark fruit with beautiful concentration and balance on the palate. Lots of structure and clearly needs time but this is lovely.

  Mid to dark red. Liqueur plum notes, vanilla, a touch of cedar oak. A little bit of Xmas spice and fruit pudding as well, but that might just be the season. Definitely medium bodied. Smooth and supple on the palate with fine grained tannin and a longish finish. Really excellent and a nice example that Australia doesn’t just make fruit bomb wines! 93++ with another 10 years.

  I'm normally a fan of the signature, but this vintage seemed rather simple with a clipped finish, disappointed. I expected to score this higher.
