Alex Hunt: This is a marvelous nose, immediately and quintessentially Syrah. Smoke, black pepper, bacon, grilled bell peppers, bramble, it’s pretty much all there. The palate wears its density lightly; it’s poised and fresh, with nicely judged acidity, yet the fine tannic power and fruit concentration is there in reserve. A wine that should certainly develop well in bottle, and a lovely example of classically proportioned Syrah. 94

Andrew Jefford: Dark black-red, but in general a lighter wine than most of its peers. Sweet yet dry and a little aromatically monotone. Simple and a bit keroseney in style; well off the pace of the best of its peers. 82

Peter Liem: This is fragrant and perfumed, feeling elegant in demeanor yet dark and meaty in tone. It’s harmonious and lithe, persisting with excellent length. 91
