Lea & Sandeman review
Lovely ripe Cabernet nose. Palate fleshy, soft, good weight of cassis and cherry with graphite and oaky complexity. Dark fruit flavour is drawn across the palate by the fine tannins. Very sexy and feminine, all in elegance and brightness of tone, with lovely intensity on the finish. 91-92/100Other reviews and comments
A medium-bodied red, with good berry and mineral character, fine tannins and a medium finish. A little lean.
86-89/100
James Suckling, The Wine Spectator
Medium ruby-red. Cassis and minerals on the nose, with complicating notes of mocha, cardamom, black tea, menthol and licorice. A juicy, suave, densely packed midweight with very good energy and intensity to its cassis, graphite and fresh herb flavors. Quite dry but not hard, finishing with building, tongue-dusting tannins and notes of herbs and tobacco leaf.

Stephen Tanzer's International Wine Cellar
Deep purple-red, nose of freshly crushed berry fruit, clear and clean and great purity of expression, full of charm yet fine length and balance. Drink 2013-22.

Pretty high volatility. Light, slightly powdery nose. Light fruit and a bit chewy and astringent on the finish. Sweetness on the front palate - far from classic dry claret! Slightly pinched finish but quite elegant - the right approach for the vintage. 2011-16
