"93 Points. With red berry fruit aromas and flavours infused with fresh herbs and eucalyptus, this wine reflects the coolness of vintage as much as the region. Although those green, leafy characters are somewhat tempered by oak spice, warm earth and a core of sweeter fruit across the palate. More medium bodied, it has a succulence and tang throughout with sandpaper-like tannins and a bitter radicchio finish. All pleasing, yet needs more time to settle in bottle (otherwise hearty, meaty fare is essential). 13% alc. Drink: 2023 - 2033. Screwcap"- Jane Faulkner, winecompanion.com.au.
