Delightful Pinot, amazing value Russell Bevan legend — 8 years ago
Showing very well. Attractive cedar and dark fruit on uncorking, opened up after 1-2 hours. Recorked anaerobically overnight, next day tannins fairly strong, needed air. This 16-yo cru classé from a big year is just entering maturity. It lives up to its name, "to chase away the blues." — 8 years ago

Incredible intensity of fruit, amazing mouthfeel. Dark fruit, focused, integrated warmth, hints of floral. Crazy depth on the palate, great weight but not too grippy, awesome wine. — 7 years ago

A very delicate (there’s a word I never thought I’d use to describe a Barossa Shiraz) wine, almost tasting like a shiraz pinot blend, rather than the shiraz cabernet it is.
I rarely comment on the bouquet of wines, but this warrants an exception. The nose is something to behold, deeply aromatic, a rich harmony of berry, vanillin oak, cedar and the merest hint of aniseed. The wine itself is something of a chameleon. The initial attack on the palate promises sweet berry fruits, but that promise is quickly overwhelmed by a raft of surprisingly complex savoury flavours, replete with delicate spice, bitter mocha, sweet tobacco and gamey meaty notes, that seem to linger forever. The tannins are ultra-fine and barely perceptible. The balance close to perfection.
This is the sort of wine where you want to savour every mouthful, and feel a real sense of loss at the ultimate but inevitable conclusion. A truly lovely and deeply satisfying wine. Everything I love in a wine and then some.
