Score 17/20 · Drink 2021-2028, Alistair Cooper MW, jancisrobinson.com, Jul 2021
50% Grenache, 48% Shiraz, 2% Mourvèdre. Leather, mocha and crushed-blackberry nose. A rounded mouthfeel with rich mocha and thyme, lovely fine-grained rounded tannins and good freshness on the finish. Full bodied but still maintains a graceful elegance. (AC)

Score 92/100 · James Suckling, Jun 2019
An assemblage of grenache, shiraz and a small parcel of mataro, this has a wealth of fleshy fruit aromas and flavors with vanilla-spiced oak, making a bold statement on the palate for now. A supple, mouth-filling and classically styled Barossa red blend. Drink or hold. Screw cap.
