    Bright garnet in colour. An incredibly fruit expressive aroma evoking blackcurrant coulis, with hints of dried rosemary and fresh basil. Pretty floral perfumes of lavender and lily intermingle with traces of native summer forest and fungi. Beautiful transparency of vineyard site is on display as the delicate scent of dried peppy leaf on the banks of the Wilyabrup Brook lifts in the glass, accompanied by cacoa, crayon and an intriguing musk like fragrance. A succulent, creamy entrance brimming with vibrant fruit weight. The concentrated, elegant body embeds on the palate, framed by a super fine, powdery tannin structure. Relaxed in its completeness, the comfortable dry finish lingers on with tantalising flavours of blackcurrant, dark chocolate, and sweet aromatic oak.

    98 POINTS - Ray Jordan “Brilliant” “It has such a seamless and slinky integrated palate that it just coasts through effortlessly to a sustained long finish. A beautiful medium bodied wine... You really get a sense of the prettiness and purity plus the detail in the wine when you get to the end of the glass.”   I love the purity and restraint of the cool, long­ripening season. Tom Cullity bears a classic confidence, founded in historic wines, captured in the mastery of Virginia Willcock, and heightened with 22% Malbec and 66% new French oak barriques. Even on its release at four years of age it’s still a tightly-clenched baby, yet bears every hallmark of greatness in time to come. I love the bright redcurrant mood of this season, the complexing nuances of bay and thyme, the perfumed lift of rose hip, the intricate, rigid frame of tannin endurance, and a finish that holds long and strong. 97 Points - James Suckling
