Really nice savoury wine with a juicy fruit backbone. Dusty and nice fine tannins. Drying but not overtly. — 9 years ago

Loved it! Always been uncool enough to like Riesling and this proves it... Great fruit and palate weight with really nice acidity. Yum — 10 years ago

Tighter style reminiscent of much of WAs cooler 2012 vintage but nice texture (broader use of clones than just Mendoza). I like it! — 10 years ago

Malbec FTW! Juicy and plush but still nicely structured a la Cab Sauv. Perfumed and elegant. Great work from MM. — 10 years ago

At 9 years on from vintage it's looking pretty good. Still plenty of oak but a nice fruit profile persists. Ripe for sure but still tasty. Plenty of dark fruits to balance that mocha/savoury edge. — 10 years ago
