Neil Phillips rated this wine as 88/100 with the following review:

Classic Aussie Shiraz with a twist.

Dense nose of dark fruits, mint, leather, allspice.

On the palate it starts off all fruit, but more stewed than jammy, and with a strong savoury backbone that makes this more fruit-friendly than many. Black pepper is slightly subdued. Tannins medium-plus.

Tastes April 2014.

Heather Wall rated this wine as 89/100 with the following review:

Smooth, deep ruby with lofts of dark fruit, stewed strawberry, sweet cigar,pepper, prune, leather, cloves. Medium acidity. Lingering warm fruit driven finish. Good with a BBQ hamburger with all the trimmings. Enjoy now.
Tasted: February 2015

Jane Staples rated this wine as 89/100 with the following review:

Inky,perfumey, ripe red fruit and prunes on the nose. The full-bodied palate shows prunes, stewed red fruit, ripe raspberries and spice. Very smooth mouthfeel with soft tannins and a stewed fruit finish.
