What The Critics Say
94/100 Cameron Douglas MS (2020 vintage)
"There’s no mistaking the core scents of variety with dark plum and baked raspberry, a fine layer of anise and barrel spices add complexity while a dark violet and toasty roasted nut quality deliver depth and breadth. Youthful and bold on the palate with a taut core mouthfeel then flavours of dark berries, spicy plum and five spice claim their space on the palate. Tannins are ripe, nicely polished and abundant. Acidity offers freshness carrying flavour and emphasises the youthful power and drive of this wine. Well made, youthful and best enjoyed with food through 2022 to 2025, then on its own (or with food) through 2030+."
93/100 Bob Campbell MW (2020 vintage)
"Intense, supple syrah with cassis, blackberry, black pepper, violet and spicy oak flavours. It sits perfectly between the big, rich blockbuster style and the taut, nervy, floral-focused kind of syrah. A stylish wine 27 JUL 2022."
