92/100 — James Suckling
(2013 Vintage, Tasted: Aug 2018)
“This is a stoic, classically styled shiraz that has big and bold aromas of blackberries and tar. Some licorice and resiny oak. The palate is big and saturated in flavors of dark plums and blackberries with a big serving of sweet oak. The finish is long with ripe fruit and tannins. Drink in the next decade. Screw cap.”
