Estate-grown, and spent 24 months in French oak; the decision to keep a part of the make for extended bottle age, and thus a museum release, has been fully justified. This is a rare opportunity to buy a fully mature wine direct from the cellar of the maker. All the components of dark berry fruits, oak and tannins have joined seamlessly and harmoniously. There will, I suppose, be some bottle variation, but it's hard to imagine a more perfect bottle than this one. Score - 96. (James Halliday, winecompanion.com.au, July 10, 2013)
