Opinions about wine differ greatly as the experience is subjective. You may find it helpful to compare this critical evaluation of the wine with mine as well as your own:
Produced from the shiraz plantings on the 340-ha estate vineyards that date back to 1969, the wine has a strong, healthy colour, with a bouquet of black fruits, vanilla bean and touches of spice. Then follows a medium- to full-bodied, mouth-filling palate, with oceans of black fruits and well- integrated vanilla oak, promising much for the future. Drink it now or in 15 years – it’s up to you. Winner of a blue-gold medal at the Sydney International Winemakers Competition 2011. Score: 92 Source: James Halliday, winecompanion.com.au
