Red Wine of the Year - 2025 Halliday Wine Companion
"A brilliant crimson red. In fact, a brilliant Dry Red Wine No. 2. There's a little reduction when first poured but it doesn't take long for this to reveal a complex amalgam of red and black fruits, iodine, graphite and melted, dark licorice. Fleshier and more refined and seductive than last year's version. Incredibly svelte tannins. Supremely balanced. I reckon Yarra Yering's founder, Dr Bailey Carrodus, would be chuffed with this." - 99 points, Philip Rich, Halliday Wine Companion
Good deep, bright colour with nutmeg/spice and a whiff of oak in the bouquet. It's young and has what it takes to age well. The wine is deep in dark berry fruits, firmed up by taut tannins and acidity. Young and bold yet also elegant, with a bright future. Ideally it needs a bit more time." - 96 Points, Huon Hooke, The Real Review
