2013 Vintage 94 Points - James Halliday
From the estate vineyard in Marananga planted in 1899, matured in French oak (25% new) for 19 months. The fourth release, decanting recommended. A massively powerful, ultra-full-bodied style charged with sultry smoky black fruits and charcuterie. Poses the same questions as all the others in the range.
2014 Vintage 97 Points - James Halliday
From the estate vineyard planted in 1899 at Marananga, matured in French oak (30% new) for 18 months, not fined or filtered. Full-bodied, but very well balanced, and has a purity, a strong sense of place to its black/forest berry fruit; the French oak, too, plays a positive role. A great example of the genre.
2015 Vintage 96 Points - James Halliday
Fruit off the estate's Marananga vineyard planted in 1899. The wine is matured in 35% new French oak and aged 16 months. It's full-bodied, bold and rich with densely packed tannins and all manner of dark fruit, spice and gravelly/ironstone notes. Retains purity, even a brightness.
