Toasty oak still showing on the nose, some violets emerging. Full-bodied, deep and full in the mouth: a youthful, nascent, elegant wine. Tight and long on the palate, with lively acidity. It's still very youthful and will be long-lived. Cellar it.09 AUG 2018 Drink 2020–2043
97 points Huon Hooke The Real Review
A blend of cabernet sauvignon (54%), merlot (36%) and cabernet franc (10%) from estate-owned vineyards. Rich, concentrated and velvety red with blackcurrant, cassis, cedar, black olive, anise, liquorice and nutty oak flavours. An impressively layered wine with a lengthy finish. It can be appreciated now but has obvious potential.14 NOV 2017 Drink 2017–2025
