"It’s intensely laden with game meat, wildly exotic, sweet spices and dried rose petals, green pepper, Thai spice, white raspberry, tart cherry and a bevy of clove/anise. The palate echoes a similar series of traits, medium weight, silty and grippy, laced with dried green herbal elements, pumice stone, crushed rock, slightly grunty but sticking to a medium weight profile with maximum savouriness. It seems to mesh the personalities of pinot noir, nebbiolo and nerello mascalese with heartier shiraz, the latter of course the star but, geez, this is such a wildly compelling and incredibly distinct and beautiful wine. They should scrub the word Kalimna off the big company wines and take a lesson from this one." 97 points - Mike Bennie (The Wine Front)
