Opulent and engaging with dark fruit richness, dark cocoa, cake spice and toasty oak aromas on the nose. The palate is concentrated and plush, filled with powerful fruit flavours backed by layers of fine tannins, making it gratifying and hugely appealing. Grapes were sourced from McLaren Vale & Fleurieu. At its best: now to 2036. Score – 94. (Sam Kim, wineorbit.co.nz, Jan. 2024)
