"A blend of 62% shiraz and 38% cabernet sauvignon with a little higher percentage of new oak this year (31% new; 81% French, 19% American). It's a good-looking wine, this one. Pristine blackberry, black cherry, dark plum and blackcurrant fruits. Aromatically, the shiraz/cabernet split looks on equal pegging here despite the numbers. Not a hair out of place, with pure black fruits, layers of spice, beautifully judged oak use and a velvety transit across the palate, fine in tannin and looking wonderfully composed." 96pts Gold Dave Brookes Halliday Wine Companion
