"Something a little dark and mysterious about this, dusty, earthy, plum & berryfruit swelling, crushed leaf. The palate follows the nose, good flavour depth and concentration, the tannin structure evident with a lick of acidity adding freshness. Becomes more chewy with time adding a stalky, bittersweet element to the close." Very Good to Excellent, Mark Henderson, Otago Daily Times, NZ
“ … wonderfully flavoursome palate delivering excellent weight and plump mouthfeel ... bold yet stylish ....” 94 Points, Sam Kim, www,wineorbit.co.nz, NZ
“I really like the flower and red fruits here that flow across the palate. Medium-bodied with fine tannins and a reserved finish. Very classy ...” 94 Points, James Suckling Wine Reviews, www.jamessuckling.com, USA
