Critic tasting note: "(2010) A decade ago, the idea of an established French winemaker making wine in Australia was almost unheard of, apart from a few big Champagne houses. But cross-cultural collaborations like this are a little more common nowadays, and in fact, Chapoutier has been in Australia with his Mount Benson project for some time. This Syrah/Shiraz from Victoria has a beautifully graphite-like lift on the nose, with a delicate smokiness, some floral notes and a clear blackcurrant fruit. The wine is unoaked, allowing the fruit to sing through on the palate, where it is medium-bodied and savoury, with the juicy, tart quality of biting into a fresh plum or black cherries, and a fresh, food-friendly finish." - 91/100, Tom Cannavan

The 2008 vintage for Australia was good with moments of greatness.
The growing season began well with spring bringing revitalizing rains until a smooth summer took hold, which delivered just enough heat and sunny dry days to push the grapes to phenolic ri...
