Critic reviews
World Wine – Ray Jordan - "Not often you get a new release that is nine years old. Not often you get a wine that is this good. Comes from the original 1891 vines on the family vineyard. There is quite a bit of hands on in the making here, including thrice daily hand plunging. It was then matured in old French oak for two years. It resulted in a beautifully supple and expressive wine revealing some nice chocolate, dusty library book and cedary characters that are part of its move into a secondary stage of development. Traces of coffee bean, liquorice and nutmeg. A terrific wine." - 98 Points, Ray Jordan

"Medium deep crimson. Fragrant dark plum, dark red cherry, praline aromas with roasted chestnut, wood varnish notes. Generously concentrated with unfolding dark plum, dark cherry, blackberry fruits, sinuous but muscular firm tannins, lovely mid palate density and underly mocha, hint marzipan notes. Becomes more minerally at final approach, with a fine loose knit tannin plume. Excellent wine showing power and elegance. Drink now – 2036"
Comes from the original 1891 vines on the family vineyard. Black with purple hues in colour. Aromas of blackberry and dark fruits, with hints of cherry-liquer, fennel and coriander seed. Rich, generous and full-bodied. Deep, dark fruits, opulent and succulent. Fine, supple tannins lead through to a persistently long finish.
