James Halliday's wine tasting note: "Medium crimson-purple; there are spicy aromas to the black fruits of the bouquet, and the structure and texture of the medium-bodied palate is outstanding, the blackberry and liquorice flavours supported by perfect tannins, oak seamlessly joined to the whole parade; has wonderful length." Drink by 2035. Date tasted: 28th August 2012. James Halliday Australian Wine Companion.
