Reviews & Awards

5 Stars - Sam Kim, Wine Orbit 2022

By Sam Kim

It's seductively complex and enticing on the nose with dark cherry, smoked game, earthy mushroom and assorted nut aromas, leading to a wonderfully weighted palate displaying expansive mouthfeel and loads of fine polished tannins. Silky-smooth with sweet fruit richness and savoury nuances. At its best: now to 2030.

Rating: 94/100

Excellent - Cameron Douglas, Master Sommelier 2022

By Cameron Douglas

Complex aromas of mixed baking spices and red berries, there’s a dry stone earthy quality with a touch of wood smoke and bacon. Nice weight and youthful tension on the palate with flavours of fresh and baked cherry, strawberry and baking spices from cinnamon to cedar and clove. Tannins layer in texture and mouthfeel and acidity provides freshness and contrast. The fruit flavours and decent structure will allow this wine to age and develop, plus it is immediately food friendly. Nice complexity and length with best drinking from early 2023 through 2030.
