There is profound wisdom in blending warm, plush McLaren Vale cabernet with vibrant, cool-toned Hunter shiraz. This wine is utterly glorious, fulfilling one's desire for richness and freshness in a mere sip. Utterly drinkable on release, though with the potential for extended cellaring.

96/100

Deep purple-red colour; intense clove and pepper aromas, thyme/dried-herb overtones, a flash of cabernet cassis too. The palate is firm on the beginning and finish, intense and concentrated, powerful and very long, with sweet fruit at its heart. A smashing red wine in which the cabernet makes a strong contribution. More full-bodied than most of the 2022 Tyrrell shirazes.

Huon Hooke

94/100

Blackberry, raspberry and blueberry, aniseed and coal dust, a little gum leaf along with some spice and subtle creamy vanilla oak. Medium bodied, good flavour, a pleasurable amount of chew to the fine sooty tannin, juicy raspberry, balanced acidity and a long finish. Beautifully made. Very much the classic Aussie blend.
