James Suckling: 96 Points
Quite expressive and exotic, with red plums, blackberries and iodine, as well as dried herbs and nori, quite fragrant spices and currants. The palate has a sleek, dense and long feel, with impressive fruit intensity, delivered in such contained and impressively composed style. This has such length and intensity with a silky texture. Old vines underpin the style here. Drink over the next decade or more.

This young, tightly coiled 2018 Shiraz is far from ready to drink. Right now, it is a heady mix of fruit, licorice, lavish tar and warm slate aromas, wrapped up in a blanket of oak. That impressive flavor intensity is well supported by weighty tannins through a seriously long finish. Bold and embryonic, this needs 10 years, if not more, to flower.
