96 Points - Halliday Wine Companion by Toni Paterson

"This beautiful wine, from the Sweetwater vineyard, offers a perfect balance of a sweeter fruit profile and the grace for which Hungerford Hill wines are known. Mellow notes of raspberry sorbet and cherry compote glide effortlessly across the palate, while impressive weight lends the wine an opulent, luxurious feel. The tannins are fine and there is excellent length and balance. It is drinking beautifully now, yet it has the potential to evolve further with cellaring."

96 Points - Wine Pilot by Shanteh Wale

"Fruit is from the Sweetwater vineyard and walks the line of dynamic intensity and sophistication. It’s filled to the brim with blackberries, plums, nigella and juniper spice. Volcanic rock and black truffle savouriness. Its agile acidity is melted into the heart of the wine with slippery tannins and an effortless grace. Oak nuances capture the beauty of the fruit, aiding its pretty florals and lifted line of berries. A beautiful wine with delicacy, poised for long term cellaring or equally enjoyed now. A wine for slivers of top grade wagyu seared for mere moments before popping in the mouth."
