Sam Kim, Wine Orbit – 95 Points
This is highly comforting and sensually appealing, showing blackberry, vanilla, clove, cocoa and toasty oak characters on the nose, followed by a richly flavoursome palate delivering silky texture with supple tannins, offering excellent structure and persistency. At its best: now to 2034.

A lifted and vibrantly composed shiraz from the Limestone Coast. Dark berry fruits with a spicy oak contribution. A little cooler climate pepper in there with a floral lift and a final lick of dark chocolate. It’s wine for drinking in the short term. Plenty of appeal here.
