James Suckling, March 2024 - 98 Points

Truly wonderful nose of peppercorns, cloves, blackberries, lavender and blueberries. The palate is medium- to full-bodied with tannins that build from the moment the wine hits your mouth. It’s long and refined in texture. Poised at the end, suggesting a bright future in bottle. Drinkable now but will age beautifully. Screw cap.

Bob Campbell MW, November 2023- 97 Points 

More vinous than fruity, it’s a complex wine with wood smoke, new leather, dark chocolate, oyster shell, spicy oak and grape stem aromas. A ripe wine with serious cellaring potential. Expect greater complexity and a silkier texture with time.

2023–2040

Michael Cooper, December 2023 - 5 Stars

One of the country’s most distinguished reds. The highly impressive 2021 vintage (5*) was estate-grown in the Gimblett Gravels, hand-picked from vines 25 to 30 years old, and matured for 21 months in French oak barrels (54 per cent new). Deeply coloured, it is fragrant, with dense, beautifully ripe red berry, black pepper and spice flavours, complex, savoury, finely poised and seamless. Best drinking 2028+. This wine is a Super Classic.

When to drink: 2028

Huon Hooke - The Real Review, November 2023 - 97 Points 

Very deep, saturated purple-red colour; aromas of mixed spices and dark fruits laced with lashings of quality oak which shows out somewhat. In the mouth, tremendous depth, power, and concentration. There’s profound flavour and structure, abundant supple tannins and lots of deep-seated graphite/earthy/stony complexities. A little age will mellow out the oak more. An impressive wine, sure to have a big future.

Stephen Wong - The Real Review, December 2023 - 96 Points 

Fragrant and layered nose of purple fruit, cracked pepper, a hint of floral and a hint of game. Some high-toned aromas with dusty oak. Quite elegant entry on the palate, sleek, very perfumed violet and blackberry with well-framed earthy tannins and dominating woodiness towards the back. Closed, dense and inward, the firm flavours turn very oaky on the finish.

TASTING NOTES

The 2021 Homage is a beautifully aromatic wine. A floral, scented nose of blueberry and violet dominate with spice and licorice aromatic’s sitting in the background. The wine is intense and concentrated in the mouth with fine-grained tannins providing a powerful, yet silky texture. Balanced acidity and supportive oak ensure the wine remains vibrant, focused, and supple on the palate distinguished by exceptional length of flavour and a lingering spicy finish.

Drink now to 2040. Decant before serving.
