Martin Moran, Second Term Panellist 2019 Competition
“Plenty of eucalypt here mixed with black fruits that some will find a little too much but it?s tamed slightly by food.”
Martin Williams, Fourth Term Panellist 2019 Competition
“Deep cherry-plum. Currant and blackberry fruit, minty overtones. Sweet fruit, light mint and currant flavours, fine tannins, cool acidity. Moderate length. Food: Bright fruit and minty characters are rather dominant.”
Brent Marris, Thirteenth Term Panellist 2019 Competition
“Bright leafy nose through to palate. Slight herbal notes with lovely balanced tannins. Hints of blackberry and nutmeg on the finish. A great match as the wine flavours are lifted and the flavours linger.”
Ying Hsien Tan, Second Term Panellist 2019 Competition
“Deep red. Red capsicum, tomato leaf, dark berries on the nose. Med-bodied, dry, minty red capsicum, redberries, lightly tannic. Dry red fruit finish. Neutral mutual impact between beef and the wine.”
Dr Ken Dobler, Eleventh Term Panellist 2019 Competition
“Deep crimson colour. Really interesting cassis and tobacco leaf aromas dominate the nose. A very well weighted palate with ripe primary fruit and those tobacco leaf and cedar flavours without any hint of green tannin. Excellent long tannic finish which pairs beautifully with food.”
