Reviews:

Mike Bennie, Halliday Wine Companion - 93 Pts

A soft, medium-weight red with sloshy texture, ripples of raspberry licorice, cola, cranberry and strawberry, accompanied by sage leaf, cinnamon spice and choc-mint. It feels quite rich and toasty, yet the slip to texture gives the wine glide and lift. Grippy, dusty tannins roll in. Ripeness feels inherent, so too coolness; hence, a wine with density yet lift. Quite delicious, if not a touch short as a comment.
