Kay Brothers Description
Deep ruby color. Perfumed notes of rose petal, musk, and dried herbs with a whiff of charcuterie lingering in the background. Bright berry fruit flavors, cacao and black olive. Followed by slowly building fine-textured tannins providing excellent length. An elegant and classy Block 6 Shiraz.
James Suckling: 95 Points
This release represents a significant change at this address from a culture of rich wines from old vines and traditional winemaking, at least in an Australian sense, to one of earlier harvesting and a grasp for freshness. Sure, the ancient vines remain. Yet despite the palpable intensity and drive, there is a twiggy dryness, a paucity of amplitude and a generosity that is synergistic with an early harvest window. Olive and dark fruits, sure. Time may bestow further beauty. I score with the benefit of the doubt in mind. Drink or hold.
