97 / 100"From a 2.3ha Maslin Sands block, 20% whole bunches, 30% whole berries, 50% crushed; wild fermented and matured for 16 months in new and used 25hL French foudres. A wine of remarkable intensity. Purity and balance underwrite a future measured in decades."

"An attractive and inky purple; floral aromatics of plum and black cherry with vanillin cream and spice. The palate is velvet, there is a moreishness of spice and acidity with layers of plush cherry and plum, lashings of milk chocolate and such clarity and drive of fruit. Faint earth and spice to finish. An incredibly good Shiraz."

"And this Shiraz just feels right and good. Great colour – a lovely purple-red. It smells alive too – some of that McLaren Vale tilled earth, a wave of purple fruit, oak, a distant background coffee element but there. Same again on the palate, all purple berries and coffee and a grainy but flowing finish. Nailed it. There is such a wonderful open-hearted volume to this. It feels generous and welcoming, yet so well poised and right."

"Dark, inky and really opaque and youthful in the glass. Evocative aromas of mulberry, rhubarb, satsuma plum, licorice, char and spice. Rich, mouth-filling and plush on the palate, oodles of dark fruits, spice and creamy oak. A powerful wine with very supportive tannins and acidity ensuring texture, mouth-feel and brightness."
- Aaron Brasher
