96 Points - James Halliday “ The quality of fruit, tannic precision and apposite application of oak under this banner are unequalled in Australia. Nobody else gets it quite as right. The budget and gear help, yet it is the viticulture...read more

97 Points - The Winefront “It’s the blend of Cabernet Sauvignon (56%) and shiraz (44%) that could take on all-comers. Stand aside. There’s a freight train of flavour here and while its brakes are hydraulic its momentum is enormous...read more

99 Points - James Suckling “Unbelievable! Another insane wine. The length of this is endless. The blue fruits and Asian spices are mind-blowing. It’s medium- to full-bodied with a mouth full of polished and refined, creamy tannins. It goes on for minutes. Endless. Seamless...read more

99 Points - James Suckling  “A pretty sensational wine with blackberry, grilled meat, dark chocolate, and licorice. Full-bodied and layered with righteous deep and poised tannins that coat the mouth. It goes on for minutes...read more

98 Points - James Suckling “The Eden Valley fruit gives a unique cool fruit character of blue fruits, iron and white pepper. Granite. Medium to full body, with tight and integrated skin tannins and a gunpowder undertone. Fantastic length. A little closed now. Drink after 2025.”

17.5+ Points - Decanter "50% Cabernet Franc in the blend. Really polished wine. Close to Ausone in style and stature. Has the depth and intensity many lack in 2007. Full and fresh with a fine tannic line."

98 Points - James Suckling “Blackcurrants and blackberries in the nose with licorice, sweet tobacco, iron and tile. Black olives too. Full-bodied, tight palate with intense, super fine tannins that give the wine a seamless and almost endless finish...read more

97 Points - James Suckling “Blackberry, blueberry, dark-mushroom and dark-walnut aromas follow through to a full-bodied, tight palate and a gorgeous, dark-berry center palate. Creamy and polished. Lovely finish. Violets and mushrooms. From 80-year-old vines. Hard not to drink now, but better in 2024.” 

99 Points - James Suckling “Incredible purity of fruit in the nose, offering crushed, perfectly ripe blackberries and currants with raspberries and citrus. Some black liquorice, too. It’s full-bodied with density, precision and gorgeously fine tannins...read more

Crafted exclusively for the cellar door. The first time this wine has ever been exported. You're the guinea pigs!

98 Points - James Suckling "Amazing aromas of metal shavings, cloves, spices, and black and blue fruits. Violets, too. Full-bodied with creamy tannins. Cured meat with iron earth. Almost slatey. Very sophisticated and classy. Drinkable, but this is one to age ideally...read more

Winemaker Cherry fruits and floral notes fil the palate. There are complexities galore all sitting on a precise palate of lacy fine tannins with lovely acid core. The palate is long and persistent with evolving complexities as time goes by in the glass.

95 Points - Stuart McCloskey “I love the bouquet which invites you in to clove, cinnamon, cacao nibs, coffee, garrigue, warm earth, dark cherry and cola. The palate is medium-bodied, supremely fresh and takes you down a blood orange path which appeals to me...read more

97 Points - Stuart McCloskey “The tempo changes and concentration is heightened as the 2020 Little Hampton deserves attention – it’s not a wine to guzzle without consideration. The bouquet develops at a glacial pace, it needs 1-2 hours in the decanter..read more
