Halliday Wine Companion - 95 points
"One is immediately drawn to this wine by the extraordinary aroma that leaps from the glass. Its dried cherry, cacao nib, and Moroccan spice notes are alluring and mysterious. It has both richness and clarity, achieved through attentive viticulture and skilful winemaking. Fragrance, richness and brightness are the hallmarks of this impressive, moreish wine." Toni Paterson (Aug 2024)
The Real Review - 92 points
"A lovely vibrant and very youthful red in the glass. Complex aromas of blackcurrant, ferrous earth, bramble, iodine, anise and dried herbs. The palate has lashings of concentrated, brambly dark fruits along with spice, creamy oak and graphite. The tannins are firm, shapely, structured and deliver lovely texture and the acidity has plenty of ping and freshness. A great cellaring prospect." Aaron Brasher (March 2024)
