96 Points James Halliday
Powerful purple colour; the same seamless flow of fruit, oak and tannins as in the preceding vintages; the flavours range through red cherry, blackberry, spice, pepper, tamed by lively acidity and fine tannins. Drink to 2020.

95 Points Hooke
Deep red purple, very good colour. Clove-spice aroma, lots of spicy cool-climate but very ripe smells. Sweet fruit of a blueberry, raspberry and blackberry style, with spices and some oak. Medium- full bodied. Sweet fruit middle and back-palate is superb, although alcohol seems high and it has some almost jammy aspects in its flavour spectrum. Superb wine.
