'A bold statement (AvR not inclined to anything less); nods towards crackerjack Australian style but with its own identity (not a Stellenzicht clone), '99 grapes picked extra ripe (13.6% alc); intense, rich colour; spicy, peppery seasoning with black cherries, plums in palate; long ripe tannins for the long haul (10 yrs). Keep 3 yrs before evaluating progress. 15000 bottles, 11000 for CWG auction. 13 months in small oak, 30% American, and the rest French, 50% first fill.' - Platter's SA Wine Guide 2001, 4.5*
