2009 Geoff Kelly Wine Reviews ~ ****
"Ruby and velvet, older than 2005 Tom. Bouquet is very fragrant, showing a lot of cedary oak but with good berryfruit to support it. Palate has cassis and plummy fruit browning a little, all soft and warm, and mellow despite the oak. This is a somewhat different kind of Hawkes Bay blend, more new world in its oakiness, but the quality of oak is sufficient to not intrude too much. Cellar 3 – 10 years". www.geoffkellywinereviews.co.nz
