Plush and elegant on the palate, showing satsuma plum, ripe raspberry and blueberry framed by silky tannins with very fine texture, while delicate flickers of fresh herbs add savoury elements to the wine. Medium-to-full bodied with great depth but remaining poised and balanced by vibrant acidity for an effortlessly moreish finish.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eReviews:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e95 Points, Mike Bennie, Wine Business Magazine, October 2024\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt revels in its full flex of the variety and the accompanying woody seasoning. Dark fruit, black pepper, cinnamon, clove, turned earth and undergrowth going on. It soars on the pulverised granite grip of tannins and lingers with its epic array of woody spice. Big vibe, big energy, big wine, and great harmony in all that. Classic stuff.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e93 Points, Ken Gargett, Wine Pilot, January 2024 \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAngela is the Mitolo family matriarch (and presumably completely unrelated in every way from Scylla). One presumes she must be very happy with this fine tribute. The oak used here, with the wine spending sixteen months maturing, was 25% new French, 5% new American and 70% older hogsheads. Under diam. An opaque maroon hue, the nose offers roast meat notes, chocolate, plums, blackcurrants, spices, florals and even a whiff of orange rind. There is impressive oak integration here and the wine is well balanced. Decent length, good energy and a fine line of acidity running the full journey. Enjoy over the next six to ten years.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e93 Points,\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eMarcus Ellis, Wine Companion, May 2025\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFrom Sandra’s Block in the Lopresti vineyard, 10% new French, 5% new American, the remainder seasoned. Earthy and spice-scented, this has a degree of tradition about it, leaning into blackberry, olive, red plum and cherry, studded with clove and dusted with allspice and white pepper. There’s a classic feel in its import and feel from time in oak (20 months), though an increasing house savouriness is at play, with the finish also agreeably lively.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e92 Points, Huon Hooke, The Real Review, November 2024\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDeep, rich, saturated red with a good tint of purple; the bouquet is toasty, earthy, nutty and gently oaky, the palate full bodied and firm, upright and balanced, with deep blackberry fruit and quite stylish in a more muscular way.
