90 Points James Halliday
Medium purple-red; the bouquet is clean and soft with red berry/cassis fruit supported by relatively restrained oak. The palate has good length and structure, with ripe cassis/berry fruit, a touch of mint, relatively soft tannins and well-integrated oak. No doubt strengthened by the decision not to make any Bin 707 or John Riddoch in 1995. Drink to 2010.
