The Real Review - Gabrielle Poy

Spiced plums mixed with milk chocolate and heady violets on the nose. It's dense and plush with a velvety texture, savoury inky tannins on the finale temper the richness and adds framework. The opulent fruit is a standout. An excellent modern Aussie shiraz.

Halliday Companion - Jane Faulkner

No need to guess where this comes from, it’s archetypal McLaren Vale. Brimming with black plums studded with choc-mint, Aussie bush aromas and vanilla pod. It’s slurpy, varnishy, inky and rich, just pushing the alcohol warmth a bit but there will be fans of this full-bodied, rich red.
