A cooler, longer vintage had a telling effect… flavour profile leans into the darkest red fruits rather than expected plush purples. Delicious redcurrant and red plum accents are drawn slow and even, like a bowed Stradivarius, holding perfect pitch throughout the long, sustained notes before an especially dry finish. Poise and elegance. (97) DAVID SLY, decanter.com
Flaxman Valley-sourced syrah, 95% destemmed, 5% whole bunch, pressed to French oak, 33% new, for 14 months' maturation. This wine is looking great. Savoury and stony as it travels across the palate with a trail of purely defined red cherry and dark plum fruits cut with spice, glazed ham, meadow flowers, crushed rock, dried raspberry and earth. I dare say it, it's St. Joseph-y! Calm and stony pure with a sapid mineral line, gypsum-dust tannins and a real ease of drinking. (94) DAVE BROOKES, Halliday Wine Companion
Magenta red in the glass. Dark fruited aromas of plum, mulberry and dark cherry, along with spice, dried flowers and a brambly earthiness. Dark fruited, spice, layered and mouth-filling, with a decent lick of tannin and snappy acidity. Smart length and mouth-feel. AARON BRASHER, The Real Review
