- Gary Walsh, The Wine Front: 97+ points "Monumental, rich, dark cherry, fleshy tannin, deep and inky, ferrous and very long. This is one for the ages. Black hole of density and power. Leave it alone for 20 years. Almost praline flavour in the finish. A wine of brooding impact and undeniable force."
