  April 18, 2020 - Cigar box, pencil shavings and rich dark berry aroma. Smooth to taste with enough tannins coming through to show it’s still got some some cellaring potential. Strong pencil shaving mid pallet. Slight prune like sweetness to finish.

  January 20, 2019 - Still youthfull and bright, this is very a easy drinking cabernet with lots of juicy berries and very fine tannin that keeps you coming back for more. Likely to improve even further as the chocolate comes up and acid settles. Light on its feet but not lacking in flavor. 92.

  September 26, 2018 - The Margaret River is in many ways the place in Australia where the wines are the most like Bordeaux. Ocean cooled, lively, brightly acidic, strongly structured, with many of the best sites featuring gravelly ridges. One significant advantage is that Margaret River is spared the problems of excessive rain and mold and mildew that sometimes plague Bordeaux vintages. The 6 year old Hay Shed Hill shows classic Cabernet flavors of delicious blackberry and black currant, buoyant acidity and tannin, and the ability to age and improve, all achieved with much better affordability than Bordeaux.

  October 5, 2017 - Margaret River is highly suited to Cabernet, and this one provides a good value example. Bright and fresh blackcurrant and redcurrant, fine tannin. Delicious now with food and should be good over the next 5 years too.
