Critic Scores

The violets and blackberries show wonderfully on the nose here, yet this remains subtle and complete with hints of walnuts. Full body, ultra-fine and firm tannins and a beautiful fruit and mineral undertone. Tight and substantial. So layered. Another example of finesse and beauty here with this pure merlot. Better in 2018. - James Suckling

A superb wine from a top terroir in a top vintage, this is Parusso at its very best. Much more youthful than the 2015 vintage of this wine tasted a year ago. Succulent, lithe, quite plump and seductive yet subtle and a little held-back at the same time. There’s considerable power here but it’s very nicely disguised and one has the very distinct sensation that this is a wine with massive aging potential that, despite its obvious poise and harmony, is really only revealing an iota of its full potential at this stage. That said, there’s a lot to love here already – with a wonderfully succulent and glistening mid-palate crystallinity. I adore, too, the lavender and rose petal notes that gather towards the finish. Quite simply the best single wine I’ve tasted from Parusso. - Colin Hay
