Reviews & Awards
5 Stars - Sam Kim, Wine Orbit 2022
By Sam Kim
Superbly complex and engaging, the wine shows grilled stone fruit, baked fig, vanilla and cedar characters on the nose with nuances of oatmeal and nougat. The concentrated palate delivers terrific weight and richness, wonderfully framed by refined texture and beautifully pitched acidity. Multi-layered and hugely appealing.
Excellent - Cameron Douglas, Master Sommelier 2022
By Cameron Douglas
Enticing aromas of complexity and familiarity with scents of fresh and baked stone fruits, red apple and wood smoke. Youthful with baking spice and barrel sweetness. Full-bodied with a bold creamy and barrel texture followed by flavours of baking spices and baked apple, mineral stony qualities and a fine gun-flint quality. Orchard fruits of peach and grapefruit follow accentuated by acidity and youthful new barrel tautness. A wine for the cellar or precise food pairing artistry, well made with best drinking from late 2023 through 2029.
