97 Points Huon Hooke, The Real Review "Medium to deep red colour with a good rim of purple, the bouquet is fresh and pepper/spicy with a decidedly foresty whole-bunch nuance. A lovely complex bouquet, which will only get moreso with time. The palate fllows on from the nose precisely, with intense spice and berry flavours, a hint of violets and some floral nuances. A perfumed, high-toned, supremely elegant red wine. Drink 2020-2038"
17.5 Points, Julia Harding MW "A generous, warm vintage. Same vineyard as the 2022 but 94% Shiraz, 6% Viognier. And same winemaking. Screwcap. Bricky garnet. Suggestion of smoked meats along with the still-perfumed fruit. Complex, layered style, where finesse trumps power. Juicy, still founded on pure fruit even with these developed characteristics. Finest of tannins shape the wine but also reveal it."
