<p><b>95 points</b> - Deep purple red. Elegant, slightly meaty, peppery aromas. Withheld. Fleshy, dense with nicely ripe tannins, the fruit is expressive, displaying depth and power against the fine grained oak tannins. A lovely glass of wine with the ability to age.</p><p>Tasted on Tue, Oct 8, 2024.</p>

<p><b>95 points</b> - This is nori galore. Bit of cabbage on the nose: Cabernet galore too.</p><p>Tasted on Tue, Sep 10, 2024.</p>

<p><b>95 points</b> - Deep purple red. Alluring, floral and cassis aroma, cigar box, also hints of iodine. Surprisingly medium bodied. Tannins soft, powdery, coal-dusty providing a gentle but distinctly chalky grip. Lovely wine showing elegance and charm.</p><p>Tasted on Wed, Apr 3, 2024.</p>

<p><b>95 points</b> - Dark red, purple tinge. Nose shows tar and olives. Tobacco leaves. A medium bodied, elegant wine. Just coming out of its shell. Primary mulberry fruit still lacing brightly through the tobacco aromas. Will be superb in a few years.</p><p>Tasted on Wed, Apr 3, 2024.</p>

<p><b>97 points</b> - Medium dark purple red. Charcuterie hints, complex and involving. Amazing palate, concentrated and balanced, great ripeness and fruit expression, excellently balanced with fabulous structure. Built and harmonious.</p><p>Tasted on Thu, Oct 22, 2020.</p>

<p><b>90 points</b> - Good colour, full body and seems to be in solid shape at 16 years of age. But a bit dry and dusty and lacking in fruit. Tannins have softened, but you can tell that they were there. All up, a disappointing wine for the price and considering the cachet this label has.</p><p>Tasted on Mon, Sep 28, 2020.</p>

<p><b>85 points</b> - Pronounced leaves on the nose. Lovelly wine! Sharp finish at the end. Vegetal notes are very much in the foreground. Could do with a bit more fruit. Not very generous. A bit too lean.</p><p>Tasted on Wed, Sep 30, 2009.</p>

<p><b>82 points</b> - Nose shows clearly incense mint and faint sandalwood. Palate has concentrated and blatant fruit and leather and a hollow juicy raspberry character. Finish is a bit stinky egg which drops abruptly - hollow.</p><p>Tasted on Wed, Sep 30, 2009.</p>

<p><b>92 points</b> - Eucalypt and red fruit on the nose. Good concentration. Typical Margaret River cabernet Sauvignon.</p><p>Tasted on Sun, Jun 7, 2009.</p>
