Campbell Mattinson
says:If you’re not a great fan of stalk influence you’ll probably find this wine a touch green. It’s not - it’s cherried and spicy, smoky and very fine through the finish. It’s a wine where the flavours seem to have been picked up and placed into the wine with care and deliberation. It needs more time to grow more comfortable within its own skin, but I have no doubt of its quality - within its style.
Nick Stock, The Penguin Wine Guide
says:It has cool blackberry and dark cherry fruit aromas and musky viognier lift. The palate's elegant and juicy with vivacious, sweet, ripe dark berry flavour, fine, easy, tannins, mocha-flavoured oak and plenty of drink now appeal.
