Awards and/or Press Quotes
Wine Spectator 2011 Vintage - 90 Points
Wine Spectator 88 Points Ripe and polished, a supple style that emphasises dark fruit, including black cherry prune, against spicy overtnes and liquorice pepper. Finishes gracefully.'
International Wine cellar 89 points Opaque purple. Sexy aromas of cassis, backberry, cola, licorice and mocha. Sweet and broad in the mouth, with very good intensity and definition to the dark fruit preserve, cocoa and floral flavours. Open-knit, highly aromatic shiraz, with good finishing cling an sweet persistence.'
