Martin Moran, Second Term Panellist 2019 Competition
“A lovely characterful wine with good intensity of black fruits and good length but never heavy or clumsy that matches beautifully with the food and seems a little richer and longer.”
Martin Williams, Fourth Term Panellist 2019 Competition
“Mid-deep cherry-plum. Red berry and herbal/earthy aromas. Sweet fruit, very fleshy and generous. Fine tannins and gentle acidity. Good length. Food: seamless combination with the dish. Pepper and spice in the wine work well with the beef.”
Brent Marris, Thirteenth Term Panellist 2019 Competition
“Ripe black pepper nose and palate. Hints of savoury and blackberry coming through on the palate with silky balanced tannins. A great match as the flank dish brings out the berry fruit of the wine and matches the texture.”
Ying Hsien Tan, Second Term Panellist 2019 Competition
“Deep red. Peppery red berries on nose. Med-full dry tannic spicy red berries, fairly straightforward. Dry, red berries finish. Long. Deepened the flavours and smoothed out texture of the wine. Strengthened sweetness of the bef.”
Dr Ken Dobler, Eleventh Term Panellist 2019 Competition
“Very enticing nose , spice, pepper and lovely fresh plum notes jump from the glass. Delicious fruit weight and length with complex exotic spice and white pepper supporting the very pretty fruit notes. Food accentuated the delicious primary fruit notes in the wine.”

Mike de Garis, Second Term Panellist 2019 Competition
“Cherry cheer, lacks punch, toast & slight nutty. Cherry, hollow, drying & raspy tannins. Food : tannins still raspy, maybe lifted flavour a tad.”
