85/100 - Our score.
88/100 - International Wine Cellar. “($9) Light purple. Peppery
blackberry and blueberry aromas are attractively precise. Shows
a round, sweet personality verging on jammy but is nicely braced
by sound acidity. No obvious tannins or herbacity to get in the
way of easy drinking. Finishes with a lingering flavor of sweet
dark berries.” (Australia)

90/100 - Wine Advocate. “Opaque purple, it has an enticing spicy
perfume of blueberry and blackberry that jump from the glass.
Plush and ripe, it tastes like Shiraz selling for three times the
price. It has outstanding depth and length and, best of all, it can
be enjoyed now.” (Australia)

91/100 - International Wine Cellar. “Ruby-red. Smoky aromas of
fresh blackberry, cassis and candied cherry lifted by sweet licorice
and bright minerality. The flavors offer a compelling combination
of power and focus; raspberry and blackberry notes build and
sweeten through the finish but there’s also juicy quality providing
focus and vivacity. Finishes supple and sweet, with lingering
flavors of dark fruit liqueur. A rather graceful style of shiraz, with
impressive concentration.” (Australia)
