Kay Brothers refers to " Vibrant ripe fruit multi-layered with intense blackberry, dark chocolate, plum, mulberry, spice and liquorice flavours. The mouth feel is silky and the fine tannin structure adds the perfect balance to the long lingering finish." in its own description and Robert Parker, writing in 2006, describes:
"...the finest example of this cuvee since the 1998. It is an awesomely concentrated Shiraz with an inky/plum/garnet/purple colour and a sweet nose of roasted meats, dried herbs, ground pepper, blackberries, and cassis. This intense, full-bodied effort boasts a profound depth and richness as well as layer upon layer of awesome concentration and length. While approachable, it should hit its peak in 5-6 years, and last for two decades or more."
He awarded it 98 points which we agree is very well-deserved.
