“Deep ruby core with some purple tints in the rim. Liquorice, blackberry conserve and bay leaf aromas. Good intensity of black fruits, a hint of tobacco leaf alongside aniseed and mint notes. There's a saline minerality here as well, which is a feature of Langhorne Creek. Good length and persistence for this price point.” 90pts - Stuart Knox, The Real Review

94pts; ”Deep red colour with a good purple tint and there are aromas of fresh plums, earthy graphite and spice: there's no doubt about the varietal identity. The flavours are pure blackberry and dark plum shiraz, with an earthy undertone and savoury drying tannins that extend along the long finish. A stylish and elegant shiraz which combines power and earthy savouriness in a most attractive package. There's a lovely pure fruit drive to it. Long life expected. Amazing value.”- Huon Hooke, The Real Review

On the palate it's smooth and quite lush, and its admirable concentration doesn’t make it at all heavy. Tannin balance is spot on.” - Ralph Kyte-Powell, The Real Review

”Black fruit, spicy sauce, dried mint and sage-like oak. Full-bodied, a little bit salty with firm tannin and acidity that’s fresh, but kind of tangy, toasty savoury oak, and a firm finish offering sweet fruit and a block of tannin. Hearty fare.” ~ Gary Walsh, The Wine Front
“Blackberry preserve and dark chocolate aromas. Rich and weighty on the palate, loaded with cassis and chocolate notes, fine tannins gently guide it to a good length.” ~ Stuart Knox, The Real Review
