Dark colour, with a densely packed bouquet of black fruits, bitter chocolate, fruitcake and blackberry all in balance with well-handled oak; the palate is concentrated and fresh, medium-bodied and generous; approachable as a young wine, with plenty of time in the tank. Drink [until] 2025. Score - 94. (Ben Edwards, winecompanion.com.au, July 17, 2012)
