91 / 100"Bigger, sweeter, bulkier than your average Basket Press shiraz, with a luscious mid-palate that’s a flood of licorice and blackberry and raspberry flavour. Stylistically this is off the Rockford centre – it is a lot sweeter than its legion of fans will be accustomed to – but its cracking drinkability is difficult to deny. It does, too, have a flash of dust/herb-like nuances, which fail, but at least try, to add complexity to the bow. For maximum enjoyment, drink this one early."
