The Review:
Campbell Mattinson, The Wine Front - 96pts
"Mel Chester, Ben Mullen, Chris Crawford and Ben Hine have combined to create a wine brand, in wine quality terms, that was never going to do anything other than excel. This was grown on a 1969-planted vineyard in the Grampians region.
The smell of this wine is quite sublime. So too the taste. There’s a sweet modesty to the fruit, combined with a plushness, though for all it’s cherry-plummed goodness its strewn with flavours of Mezcal, cloves, graphite and peppered olives, not to mention sweet cedar and general fragrant herbs. There’s both finesse and control to the tannin, and beautiful, even-tempered, satisfying length. This is really quite something. It’s terrific."
