92 Points James Halliday
Sourced from McLaren Vale, Wrattonbully, Langhorne Creek, Barossa Valley, Padthaway and Upper Adelaide, and spent 13 months maturation in used American oak hogsheads. The colour is a healthy, deep and dark red-purple; given the weight of the fruit, the decision not to use even a small percentage of new oak (of whatever origin) is an interesting one - as is the jumble sale of regions. First up, disappointing in the context of the vintage, however much it will develop in bottle and gain stature through to '32. Drink to 2032.
