98 points Decanter
Beware the siren with the ruby-red lips. In a smoky room, here she strides – confident, cool, arresting. Slender, stalky cherry and a smear of blackcurrant bite, spiked with crushed peppercorns. No sunny smiles here, this is deadly serious. Leaner, finer and taut, it marks a big stride ahead from previous vintages. This vision of cool-climate Shiraz marks a new age of measured sophistication.
95 points James Suckling
"A super-ripe dark-plum and blackberry nose with pepper and spice aromas, together with some smoky and graphite-like elements. Plenty of complexity. So fleshy and deep with a smooth tannin texture and dark plums and blackberries sitting fresh into the finish. Rich, sweet red-fruit tones to close. Drink over the next eight years."
Jancis Robinson
"Mid garnet. Dry finish and very zesty palate with more than a hint of the northern Rhône. Really interesting wine! Long and beautifully composed. Absolutely nothing to do with typical Shiraz! Dry finish. 17/20 points."
