Martin Moran, Second Term Panellist 2019 Competition
“Interesting variety that shows violets combined with berry fruit and a palate with just the right level of tannin that matches beautifully with the food, seemingly a little fuller and longer.”
Martin Williams, Fourth Term Panellist 2019 Competition
“Deep plum. Dark fruit and pine needle aromas. Broad, fleshy palate, plum-jam and orange marmalade flavours. Supple tannins, low acidity. Very dry finish. Food: quite good with the dish, which brings out some meaty flavours in the wine.”
Brent Marris, Thirteenth Term Panellist 2019 Competition
“A lovely herb and spice nose with a slight savoury flavour on the palate. Subtle fruit and balanced tannins on the finish of the palate. A great match as the flank dish and the wine have similar flavours. ”
Ying Hsien Tan, Second Term Panellist 2019 Competition
“Deep dark red. Dark berries and cherry on nose. Full, dry, ripe concentrated dark fruit, firm tannins, juicy mid-palate. Dry ripe oaky creamy finish. Long. Very little mutual impact in the pairing.”
Dr Ken Dobler, Eleventh Term Panellist 2019 Competition
“dark crimson colour. Complex nose with aromas of earth, stewed fruit and black cherry. The palate is rich with ripe fruit and a long tannic finish. Food certainly brings those assertive tannins into balance”

Mike de Garis, Second Term Panellist 2019 Competition
“More savoury lift, slight green leafiness, dark cherry. Savoury, cherry, greens off through mid palate, drying tannins. Food : makes the tannins more drying before covering up.”
