Martin Moran, Second Term Panellist 2019 Competition
“A doppelganger for a bowl of blackberries and cream, sprinkled with a little black pepper that matches but stays the same with the food.”
Martin Williams, Fourth Term Panellist 2019 Competition
“Deep crimson. Fine blackberry and plum jam, fresh vanilla oak. Fine, supple palate, clean acidity and supple, fine-grained tannin finish. Food: good combination, the fresh acidity of the wine works well with the sweetness of the meat, brioche and hollandaise.”
Brent Marris, Thirteenth Term Panellist 2019 Competition
“Ripe berry fruit nose with hints of black pepper coming through on the palate. A touch nut meg on the finish of the palate with lovely balanced tannins. The flank and brioche dish works well as the wine becomes more balanced and in harmony.”
Ying Hsien Tan, Second Term Panellist 2019 Competition
“Deep dark red. Black pepper, spice, blackberries, tar on nose. Full, dry,ripe juicy black berries, tinged with black pepper, slightly spicy creamy oak, very nicely balanced mid-palate weight and persistence. Dry creamy ripe finish. Very long. Wine brings out slight earthiness and grassy sweetness of the beef, whilst keeping the fruit on the wine and accentuating a savoury aspect to it. Good pairing.”
Dr Ken Dobler, Eleventh Term Panellist 2019 Competition
“Very deep crimson to the eye. Interesting mulberry and plum jam aromas complexed with a dried herb character. The palate is very attractive with lifted fruit notes and some spicy savoury flavours, the palate is long and well balanced. This complex savoury style marries well with food.”

Mike de Garis, Second Term Panellist 2019 Competition
“Dusty oak, black cherry spice, slight black olives, toast, bright. Very dusty oak ? tends to override fruit, slight cherry, has carry, softish tannins. Food : oak still quite dominant, becomes quite chunky.”
