92 Connoisseurs Guide to Wine

"If a far less flamboyant effort than the winery's flagship "Halo" release, this careful, incisively fruity and deceptively deep wine is a solid success in its own right. It marries elements of currants, cream, vanilla, sweet smoke and herbs in the nose and follows suit on the palate with a nice range of like-minded flavors. It is again a wine of real polish and very fine balance, and the grippy tannins that firm up its finish will melt away nicely over the next five to eight years."
