Vino Masters - 95/100 ★★★★★
"Deep ruby with a vibrant purple rim. The nose is fragrant and inviting, offering layers of blackberry, dark cherry and ripe plum interwoven with cracked pepper, violet, subtle spice and a distinctive cool coastal freshness, a clear signature of its proximity to the Indian Ocean. The palate is polished and beautifully balanced. Juicy dark fruits and red plum lead, framed by a fine savoury spice thread. Medium to full-bodied, it displays excellent freshness and restraint, with silky tannins, vibrant acidity and a gentle mineral edge that adds clarity and lift. Subtle oak sits neatly in the background, allowing the fruit to shine through a smooth, flowing texture that finishes long and elegant."
94 Points - Halliday Wine Companion
"A superb dark-purple colour, and the appeal doesn’t stop there. Savoury and floral aromas, some meaty reduction and spices, with the fuller-bodied palate unfurling with flavour. Plums, fruit compote, star anise and dark spices, wood char and oak. It’s still in a primary phase and a tad raw, but in no time, this will be singing." Jane Faulkner
