95 Point Rated - James Halliday Wine Companion 

"A lurch back in time to 15% alcohol. Yes, it's got unlimited flavour, but it's so sad - this vineyard owned by Chateau Tanunda must have offered some lovely grapes at 14%. They did select 36 rows, and it has soft, savoury bay leaf/tapenade nuances to accompany blackcurrant fruit flavours. Full-bodied, but balanced."

95 Point Rated - Sam Kim Wine Orbit  

Full, weighty and richly expressed, the wine shows complex aromas of blackcurrant, plum, dried herb, roasted nut and subtle floral notes on the nose, followed by a gracefully powerful palate that’s dense and lingering. Magnificently balanced and flavoursome with a terrific long, refined finish. At its best: now to 2032. 

92 Point Rated - Campbell The Wine Front 

"Big hits of licorice, blueberry jubes and tar control the palate until dusty tannin swaggers in. It’s a warm, hearty, sturdy red, cooked until it’s done all the way through. It pushes ripeness but it doesn’t push overt oak; it’s nicely balanced in that respect. If you like ’em big this is a decent offering."

Highly Rated - Nick Butler The Real Review

"Medium red colour from centre to rim. It's a bold and brash expression, oak and alcohol heat lead the nose, plums and red berries in supporting roles. Still settling into its skin. Not classically varietal at this stage"
