<p><b>95 points</b> - Dark medium red. Leafy eucalypt hints. Roasted aromas. Red fruit. Full bodied, fine tannins but drinking superbly now. Outstanding red wine with nothing out of place. 5-10 years.</p><p>Tasted on Mon, Oct 14, 2024.</p>

<p><b>94 points</b> - Medium dark red. Dried herb, savoury aromas, dried blood. Firm structure, bright acidity, slightly disjointed, but this just needs time. Black pepper, meat juices. Big and powerful. Some oak sticking out, so this needs more time.</p><p>Tasted on Mon, Oct 14, 2024.</p>

<p><b>93 points</b> - Deep purple red. Spicy, nutty, walnut aromas. Dense, sandalwood characters, high acidity, cool climate yet with good penetration and power. This needs time.</p><p>Tasted on Sat, Sep 25, 2021.</p>

<p><b>95 points</b> - Had this wine at a BYO night.Great restaurant, matching courses to whatever wines you bring.Decanted at home.In short,this wine was a powerful,smooth,complex Shiraz but which seemed it would still keep for ?5-10 years.Possibly one of the best reds we have ever had! And was even better the next evening!</p><p>Tasted on Tue, Jul 31, 2018.</p>

<p><b>94 points</b> - Quite fresh, raspberry. Some dark chocolate tones, medium bodied and quite well integrated and put together. Well judged tannin. Quite delicious though it doesn't express terroir as such.</p><p>Tasted on Sun, Mar 27, 2016.</p>
