Halliday Wine Companion - 95 Points
At first, this comes across as pretty, tangy and juicy, enticing with its heady aromas and flavours. But there’s detail and structure, too. In the mix, rose petals, red and black cherries with exotic spices almost an Indian combo of cardamon and turmeric. The palate is layered with superfine tannins and matching acidity. A very satisfying drink. Jane Faulkner
