Wine Advocate
‘The 2009 Velvet Glove is 100% Shiraz matured in American oak, 97% new. Very deep garnet purple
colored, it gives intense warm blackberry, choco-mint, smoked bacon and marmite-toast aromas with
nuances of coffee, roasted nuts and vanilla. Floral notes of violets and potpourri emerge after a few
minutes. Very rich, very crisp, concentrated and full, there’s a good backbone of firm, very fine tannins
and crisp acid leading into the very long and layered finish. This is a very well balanced, structured
wine that should begin to open-out with 2-3 years in bottle, drinking 2014 to 2024+.’ – 97+ points,

‘Polished, expressive, supple and velvety, glowing brightly with blueberry, black and damson plum,
with a panoply of sweet spices, all the flavors melding together with impressive integrity and
persisting in a very long, complex finish. Most appealing is the deftness of the balance. Best from 2012
through 2020.’ – 96 points, Harvey Steiman, www.winespectator.com

‘An impenetrable black dark purple colour with black heart and very deep black purple hue shows
remarkable colour saturation. A perfume of fresh blackberry, liquorice and confectionary hits the
nose, counterpointed by a trace of blackpepper and light toasty notes. A superb sniff. The palate
delivers a slow-motion explosion - liquorice, dark plum, blackberry, confectionary, vanilla, toast and
spice flavours are followed by blackpepper on the back palate, all seamlessly interwoven in a complex
amalgam. Decadently rich and exuberant texture with excellent acidity supporting the masses of fruit.
Very fine grained, almost velvet like tannins with exceptionally long aftertaste of liquorice,
blackpepper, confectionary and spice. Cellar 4-5 years (2014-2015).’ – 99 points, Nicks Wine
