97 points Ray Jordoan. Gosh, this is such a good wine. It was a super vintage in Heathcote, and you can see it immediately on the nose with further highlights on the palate. This is not a massively opulent style of wine, but it has tremendous concentration of fruit delivered with such poise and elegance, spicy, savoury dark fruits, a little chocolate, plenty of those plummy riches. And finished with incredible polish with the use of 500-liter French oak puncheons. It seems the 20% whole bunch inclusions have certainly brought that palate into focus. An exceptional wine.

93 points. Campbell Mattinson. This is rich in fruit flavour, well structured, fresh and bright. It’s Heathcote shiraz in very good form. It offers deep cherry-plum flavour, inflections of peppercorn, mint and violets, and a meaty/smoky aspect to the aftertaste. Everything, throughout, feels satisfying and well pitched. Tannin is grapey, fine, and in synch with the overall plush feel of the wine. The Wine Front11 May 2026.
93 points. Huon Hooke. Deep, bright, youthful colour; ripe blackberry aroma, with some brown spice aromas adding extra interest. The palate is medium-full with drying earthy tannins that balance the generous fruit on the finish. A solid shiraz that would reward some cellaring. The Real Review23 May 2026
