Description For Ray Jordan, WinePilot this "Captures the richness and generosity of McLaren Vale with a degree of finesse and understatement. Medium to full-bodied with a layered and rich palate revealing a rich mix of chocolate, plum and lightly roasted coffee grinds. Has a firm structural core with supporting oak to carry through to a long finish." Alon with its score of 93pts the South Australian Wine Guide 2026 comments: "You’ll have to walk past the flowering lilac and mulberry tree before you get into the chocolate factory, for it’s alive with blossoming crimson and violet berries. Some fiery red chilis and pomegranate too. Then you’ll arrive at a tidy spice box of clove, cinnamon and finish up at the fountain of liquid chocolate. Fruit dominates the wine and the luxurious palate and soft tannins, coupled with spice, is where you gain that enveloped feel of comforting cocoa dreams. In a very good drinking spot, with acidity still keeping it fresh. Drink now–2028”
