95 Points James Halliday
Strong red-purple; spotlessly clean, ripe blackberry/blackcurrant aromas of medium to full intensity are followed by a stylish palate, with particularly soft, almost creamy, tannins, with hints of cedar and chocolate. Drink to 2008.

94 Points James Halliday
Strong red-purple; a fragrant bouquet showing positive varietal character ranging through berry, cedar and leaf leads into a powerful palate with ripe berry and plum flavours supported by lingering tannins. Classy oak handling adds to the structure of a lovely wine. Drink to 2005.
