Stephen Brook: Very deep red. Muted and dense nose, with black fruit and a dash of herbaceousness. Rich, ripe, and juicy; abundantly fruity but with pleasing acidity, too. This has verve and drive and an appealing mintiness on the finish. It’s not hugely complex, but the wine is in balance and has the structure to go the distance. Good length. Coonawarra? 17

Andrew Jefford: Saturated black-purple. Some aromatic breadth here and a more exuberant ripeness than many. Warm, savory, slightly sweaty (screwcap again, or handling?). Some vanilla; a malty sweetness, too. Not bad, though not classic. Edgy, acid, loose, light: lacks concentration of fruit, depth, and texture. Instead, you get brisk, light-footed, and lively wine, with plenty of blackcurrant-pastille fruit. A nice varietal in the Australian idiom, but surely these regions should be able to achieve a bit more than that? Coonawarra. 12

Anthony Rose: Good, youthful ruby hue here. Intense nose, attractively aromatic, with the scent of licorice spiciness, cedary oak, and black fruits; this has a very good, ripe, rich blackcurranty fruit quality; well concentrated and intense on the palate, with a very succulent quality of tannin and freshness. The slightly bitey acidity on the finish suggests quality winemaking to bring an extra dose of freshness and agreeability, but it’s very well crafted. Coonawarra? 16.5
