2022 Wild Duck Creek Estate Yellow Hammer Hill 750ml

Awards, Ratings & Reviews 93/100 — Falstaff · 2022 Vintage · Tasted: Dec 2025 “Shiraz, Malbec, Cabernet Sauvignon. Dark chocolate, blueberry muffin, menthol and dried meat. Camphor. Oiliness and fine-grained, firm tannins define the palate, which despite its power is surprisingly "cool" and disciplined. The alcohol remains completely imperceptible. Duck with Telow turnips or cassoulet.” 93/100 — The Wine Independent · 2022 Vintage · Tasted: Nov 2024 “When to drink: 2024 to 2032” 93/100 — The Wine Front · 2022 Vintage · Tasted: Oct 2024 92/100 — Halliday Wine Companion “78/14/8% shiraz/malbec/cabernet sauvignon. Matured for 20 months in French and American oak, large foudres and concrete vats. ‘Crafted purely for enjoyment and fun,’ reads the back label. More than lives up to the claim with its soft, plummy, yummy approachability. Moves fast, delivering ripe black fruits, woodsy spice, chocolate, earth and leather across a fully expressive and tasty palate lined in supple tannins. Malbec brings an earthy, savoury edge, adding a touch of seriousness to the ‘fun.’ Long finish.” — Jeni Port · Published 20 January 2025 Deeply brooding, with ripe blackberry, dark plum, mulberry, violet, licorice, cacao, cedar and spice. The palate is full-bodied with firm, fine-grained tannins and bright acidity, offering flavors of cassis, blueberry, dark cherry, tobacco leaf and graphite. Concentrated and powerful yet balanced, with a long, savory finish. Drink or hold.
