98 Points, Huon Hooke, The Real Review - "Deep and bright red-purple hue; earthy savoury pepper/spice and dried-herb aromas, the palate intense and brightly focused, driving and long, with great depth of cool-grown shiraz flavour and tremendous elegance. Fruit sweetness is deep in the core and this is balanced beautifully by well-judged tannins. An outstanding shiraz and a gorgeous drink. Drink: Now-2039"
A powerful nose, with the depth and complexity of cool-climate shiraz. This wine is spiced with pepper and mineral elements, leaning towards earthy. The co-fermented viognier adds a little richness to both the bouquet and palate, which has a very pleasant sweetness to start, followed by intense fruit and earthy long tannins to complete the delicate structure and overall elegance of the wine.
Shiraz fruit comes from the original By Farr vineyard, planted in 1994. It lies on a north-facing slope, and the red volcanic soil has a base of limestone with deep-set sandstone.
