Campbell Mattinson, WineFront - 95pts
"I sunk the bulk of a bottle of this as I prepared Sunday dinner recently. It says a lot about its drinkability - and something about how easy it is to get drunk while you're cooking. The wine itself is superb. Think of just about any Torbreck red wine that you have loved, and then add a couple of notches of volume. It is a very intense wine. Syrupy, port-like plums, meat, smoke, cedar, fresh leather, lots of very fine tannin, star anise and sweet jubey raspberries. It's tempting to call it a fruit bomb, except that it's immaculately structured. The viognier is apparent, but in a pleasant way. And besides, there's all that smoky jubey coffeed aniseed-like flavour crashing all over it. It's quite an experience, no doubt. Dinner turned out great too, if you're wondering. Drink: 2008-2019."
