Scores
97 / 100"From the estate vineyard planted in 1899. Scored 97 points when first tasted in Nov '14 for its elegance, light to medium body and mouthfeel in the context of the Barossa Valley, and retains those qualities, which in turn give it great length. On its journey towards the ensuing plateau of 15-20 years."
