Critic Scores

97 // Bob Campbell MW

"Taut, delicately vibrant wine with oyster shell, lime, lemon curd and spicy oak flavours with a strong and appealing saline influence. Impressive power and purity. Can be appreciated now but has a proven ability to become even more interesting with bottle age."

96 // Cameron Douglas MS

"Complex and youthful with a seductive and alluring and complete bouquet with scents of ripe white fleshed tree fruits, crushed raw cashew nut, a mix of yellow fleshed stone fruit and layers of lees spices, wild flowers and white smoke of oak and soil. The youth and tautness touches the palate briefly before a satin touch and flavours of citrus and tree fruits follow. As the wine opens out across the palate and gains warmth flavours of peach and soil, flowers and fine chalky textures with a lees complexity and mineral core. A wine for the cellar please with best drinking from late 2024 or early 2025 through 2035+. Fantastic wine."

96 // The Real Review

"Pale gold. Mild flinty reduction which peels back to reveal airy aromas of white flowers and icing sugar with spiced banana aromas. Complex yet subtle savoury aromas, ripe apricot and cocoa rise and fall on the delicately perfumed nose. The palate is similarly ripe and soft with gently complex, accessible flavours and some late sappiness before tapering down to a pithy, fine-grained finish which is deceptively very long and smooth. A paradox of a wine, it is at once accessible with charming fruit but also contemplative and restrained; subtly concentrated with late mid-weight sappy flavours and elegant in a somewhat quiet way yet completely at ease with itself. Don't let this zen-like wine deceive you with its subtlety, it is one for the long haul, but I have a feeling it will always remain elegant even as it gains weight and reveals its power"
