4/22/2024 - StewartWent wrote: 89 pointsContinues a very strong run for me from this producer, one that I consider probably the most underrated in MR (along with Higher Plane?). Deeply rooted in structure over flavour with grainy red fruits, savoury layers and a presence that has proper length. 5yrs+ ahead. |

4/11/2024 - tenorselbow wrote: 91 pointsOpened for two hours. Has durif-level durability in that it tastes very young despite its 12 years (although it does have screwcap to make it even longer). Still quite closed on the nose with some molasses and figs. Intense meaty, dark-berried mouth but elegant at the same time. Long carbon paper and licorice finish. I think this will improve even more but can't be sure. Note: No sediment, which means it was overfiltered and will limit any further development. |

3/16/2024 - colinscellar Likes this wine: 91 pointsSpice on the nose but I don't really taste it. The palate is a mix of of tart fruits; plum, backberry, something else black-ish that I can't place. Lots of acid keeping things very fresh. Chewy tannins, soft but grippy, cheek-coating. Mostly primary, I don't get a lot of oak character and not yet tertiary. Very enjoyable already but needs to find a next phase of evolution to really wow. Do you find this review helpful? Yes - No / Comments (2) |

2/2/2023 - Four Dollars Likes this wine: 97 pointsHard to find an Australian Cab Frac this good. Drank beautifully at first open and then opened up to another level over the next few hours. It certainly has many years ahead but drinking so well now. |

12/19/2022 - DanielJH Likes this wine: 95 pointsThis is a super classy wine. Beautifully made. The bright acid profile is a highlight. This could be anything in years to come. About as good as it gets for Australian Merlot and equally as good as the 2018 of the same wine. |
