91 Points Excellent dark purple. This feels very polished. Plenty of dark plums, baking spices and creosote-smelling oak. The full-bodied palate is packed with tannins; the oak-derived ones drying the finish, they need to get out of the way. Time should resolve that. Jane Faulkner

Deep purple with crimson edge. Complex aromatics with pronounced red fruit and black currant aromas with choc mint, liquorice and subtle cedar spice tones. Rich, dense and vibrant, the palate has red currants, plum and blackberry with a core of dark chocolate, aniseed and hints of mint, mocha and cedar. The wine is intense and long with a silky texture, great balance and finishes with extremely fine tannins.

Cellaring Enjoy now to 15 years

Vintage 2016 proved to be quite unique with high quality fruit being delivered to the winery with well above average yields. Cool winter and warm spring was preceded by a late rainfall event that boosted vine growth and refreshed soils. Closer to harvest bumper crops were aided into ripening by mild-summer temperatures and sporadic rain. Picking at optimum maturity has resulted in wines which display vibrant bright colours with ripe flavour profiles, rounded flavoursome palates and soft fine tannins
