95/100 points

"Big,dense red with an almost chewy texture. Masses of flavour with chocolate, dark berry, anise, liquorice, spicy oak and forest floor. High quality Bordeaux varieties grown in the South Island are hard to find".

Bob Campbell, Gourmet Wine, Australia
 
"A delicate dense, rich, velvety, immensely satisfying wine of soft spoken power. One to savour".

Keith Stewart, Truewines, NZ
 
"Wow! This is a huge wine with intense berry aromas and hints of leather and smoke. The palate is also full on with good complexity...Get some".
