Very deep, dark, brooding purple-red colour with a rich and powerful cabernet bouquet that showcases blackberry, cassis and dried herbs, the palate full bodied and powerful, deep and dense with lavish tannins which are supple and fine-grained yet insistent and enduring. The flavour is fruit-driven and impossibly profound, suffused with ripe tannins, and it has amazing extract. It all lingers incredibly long on the aftertaste. A great wine indeed. Cellar to get the best out of it. Drink 2025 to 2046. – 99pts, Huon Hooke
