The palate is energetic yet polished and smooth with vibrant cherry, spice, wild strawberry and liquorice on the palate. Medium bodied but multi-layered and textural with a very long, aromatic finish.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e95 points \u003c\/strong\u003e-The Wine Front (Gary Walsh)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e95 points \u003c\/strong\u003e- Halliday Wine Companion\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e94 points \u003c\/strong\u003e-\u003cstrong\u003e \u003c\/strong\u003eRobert Parker Wine Advocate\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e94 points \u003c\/strong\u003e-\u003cstrong\u003e \u003c\/strong\u003eThe Real Review (Stuart Knox)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e93 points \u003c\/strong\u003e-\u003cstrong\u003e \u003c\/strong\u003eJamesSuckling.com\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"text-align-center\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cimg height=\"88\" width=\"88\" style=\"display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0694\/6232\/7353\/files\/TheRealReview-WineClassification-oneMerit_2x_6081d8b1-46e6-4c16-ad41-3de88955cae7.png?v=1731993763\" alt=\"\"\u003eMerit Wine - The Real Review Wine Classification\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eComprises the greatest wines of Australia and New Zealand with an outstanding track record of a decade or longer.
