This stunning 2021 Margaret River Chardonnay Art Series shows beautiful racy lines with a slick and seamless style as it bursts with toasted cashews, melon, lemon peel and pith aromas lifted by mandarin rind. Fabulous fruit density with immense power yet retaining refinement and shape over a long, strong finish. Energetic, vibrant, perfectly formed and built for the long haul. Drinking window: 2030-2044. Score - 98. (Angus Hughson, vinous.com, May 16, 2024)

Immediately captivating: the nose is vibrant and energetic, while simultaneously the epitome of elegance and poise with restrained fruit power. This is a silk evening gown of a wine: form-fitting, precisely tailored, mellifluous and effortlessly chic. Abundant in aromatics and lifted perfume, fine red fruits include wild strawberry tip, bramble and just-ripe blackcurrant, alongside hints of piquancy: Szechwan pepper, clove and a fine dusting of deep, lightly toasted cocoa powder. There's a charismatic iodine weave, the savoury and slightly saline minerality proving a foil to both the fruit flesh and the floral hues. Displaying extremely fine-grained tannins, it's firm, focused and delicate, with a graphite line, fresh acidity and plenty that will reveal itself in good time. Tasted pre-release. Drinking window: 2024-2046. Score - 96. (Cassandra Charlick, decanter.com, May 5, 2024)

The nose is perfumed and inviting, with aromas of blood plums, dark cherries and licorice. The palate is medium- to full-bodied with notes of boysenberries, dried herbs and baking spice framed by a well-structured tannin profile. Very giving and lush. Delicious. Drink or hold. Score - 93.

It's the best Prelude I can remember tasting, I'll say that much straight off. A little struck match, very spicy (some pepper and cinnamon), bright citrus and green pear, hazelnut, fine flinty grip, with a cool finish of excellent length. Fine-boned, but delivers just enough flavor. I was so taken by its balance and charm. Superb drinking. Drink date: 2024-2030+. Score - 95. (Gary Walsh, winefront.com.au, May 2024)

A neatly crafted medium bodied shiraz that has a tiny percentage of malbec. It's bright as a button with lifted berry fruits displaying a light dusting of spices and a little savoury influence. The palate is smooth and seamlessly brought together with the fruit pretty and delicious. Nice earlier drinking wine. Score - 91. (Ray Jordan, rayjordanwine.com.au, undated)
