JAMES SUCKLING 92 points
A Barossan riff on Crozes-Hermitge, so laden with clove, iodine and salumi is it. Bursting with the most perfect blueberries at the seams. Mid-weighted of feel, intensely aromatic and absolutely delicious, this slakes the thirst. The reductive pedal, impeccably held adrift in the name of effusive drinkability. Lovely gear. Drink or hold. - Ned Goodwin MW
