"Excellent quality, fresh and full of personality. Black cherry, sandalwood, rose bud, liquorice root, crayon, graphite, totally delicious. Love the expansion through the palate and the juicy finish, this is concentrated and powerful with silky tannins, super enjoyable. Philip Titus winemaker." (07/2025)

"Incense. Scented candles. Sweet spice box notes. Embers. Plums and damsons, both fresh and baked. Cedar and acacia, with more coming through on the palate. Sweet and floral on the attack with a confit rose petal component that is very distinctive and engaging. The tannins are creamy and this is long and well-sustained if a little monotone on the finish. The alcohol is nicely kept in check. Perhaps just a little sweet-scented on the palate for my taste." - Colin Hay (09/2025)
Decanter: 95 Punkte
"Highly perfumed and scented with some pepper spice, minty menthol aspects, damsons, cherries and blackcurrants. Floral accents too. Grippy in the best way, this captures your attention and doesn't let it go. Amazing minerality - the salty wet stones linger on the palate with a mineral, saline aspect alongside the blackcurrants and plums. Still quite compact and a touch strict in terms of tannins and spice - vanilla, chocolate and lots of oak but this will settle. Great quality. Owners the Chappellet family with director David Frankie and winemaker Philip Titus. 2% Merlot completes the blend." - Georgina Hindle (07/2025)
