| "Typically rich, thick and generous, this smooth, creamy Barossa red has length and strength of flavour. Its lifted, smoky aroma of coconut oak and almost heady raspberries, red cherries and plums precedes a generous, firm and balanced palate squarely built around ripe fruit and ripe, powdery tannins. (Drink 2005-2009)." Jeremy Oliver, 03.01.00.
"Earthy flavors run through this firm-textured red, but ripe berry and cherry flavors come through on the solid finish. Finish is strong enough to merit cellaring to see what develops. Best from 2002 through 2012. 5,931 cases imported. (HS)" The Wine Spectator, June 30, 2000. | |
