"Is there a cellar owned by any Australian winelover which is not well represented with Coonawarra Cabernet? Hard to imagine. And the reason is obvious – it can be such an impressive wine. This is certainly one of the very best, and deservedly part of the Legends series. Inky magenta in colour. The nose is immediately Coonawarra Cabernet at its finest, glorious stuff. Plums, dry herbs, mulberries, tobacco leaves, chocolate and a hint of mint. Well structured, though perhaps a little more plush than we have a right to expect with Cabernet. There is complexity here, great concentration and fine balance plus silky tannins on a wine of serious length. It will give twenty years of pleasure. You’ve probably guessed I like this a great deal."

"Deep, dark red with traces of purple, black and brick showing, the bouquet strong on dried herbs including mint, with underlying raspberry/mulberry fruit notes and a trace of peat, the palate bright and intense, fresh and focused, with fine, measured tannins and a medium-long carry. A solid cabernet that will reward some cellar time."

"From a single vineyard planted 1990, 16 days on skins, matured in French oak for 14 months (68% new). Chocolate-coated raspberries, cocoa, fresh garden mint, spicy charry oak and star anise-soaked plums. In the mouth the wine has plenty going on: the tannins are very fine, slightly grippy and just a little bit chewy; the fruit is plump and performs on a stage of oak and spice. Classically structured and quite dense in its approach, this errs toward traditional. The length of flavour is very good."

"A peppery and spicy nose engages the senses, backed by a core brimming with blackcurrants and spice. This is a pedigreed cabernet, the fruit is rich with detail and intensity while the tannins are fine and long. A wine built for the ages, but a pleasure to drink now."

93 Point Rated - Campbell Mattinson The Wine Front
"It provides an authentic Coonawarra cabernet drinking experience. The flavour profile is spot on: blackcurrants and bay leaves, chocolate and dust, trails of woodsmoke and tobacco. There’s a eucalypt/mint-like lift to the aroma too; it’s all both ultra inviting and authoritative at the same time. Tannin is (very) firm, and there’s a dusting of chocolate through the aftertaste, along with various herbs and fruits and woods. There’s something of a dip to the mid palate, the only knock. It will age well."
