Description / Reviews
"With 80% fruit from Lenswood and 20% from Piccadilly. The Tilbury has tight and precise acidity, compact structure, and some bold length. It has scents of fresh lime, white flowers, with an oyster shell minerality followed by citrus flavours and a subtle chariness due to seeing 40% new French and Austrian oak. The style of fruit from Lenswood provides a beautiful contrast to the tight and linear nature of the fruit from Piccadilly." - Murdoch Hill, Winemaker
"A crushed rock flintiness to oyster shell brininess, melding with verdant hints of mint and other garden herbs, smattered amid orchard fruits and citrus. Demur, youthful, tightly coiled and in need of time. Yet the acidity is juicy rather than hard. The finish, compelling and impressively long, directed by a confluence of French and larger format Austrian oak, much in vogue. This is bound to age very well, such is the thrilling precision, succulent acidity and powerful carry-through." - 95 Points, Ned Goodwin MW, Decanter
"A very cool and wet vintage for the Hills would've brought with it many challenges, not that you'd sense it here. The wine saw full mlf to combat the austerity of acids, and while it is still extremely tight and coiled in its youth, this will relax with bottle-age into something remarkable. Citrus, both lemon and lime, with some grapefruit pith and curry leaf, a thread of salinity flush with white stone fruit and crushed rock. It's tantalising, electric and bound to reward patience." - 95 Points, Katrina Butler, Halliday Wine Companion
