97 Points - Halliday Rating 2024
This wine is in a class of its own, personifying elegance, distinctiveness and originality. It defies conventional stereotypes, and thankfully so! This does not look like a Hunter wine, nor does it look like its unorthodox blend of 47/34/19% shiraz/merlot/petit verdot, all estate-grown. But it does look like a Lake's Folly, with all its purity, layers, perfume, composure and harmony. Few wineries have such a powerful and consistent style signature, and for this, it deserves high praise. Unashamedly medium-bodied with an ever-so-fine palate packed with notes of damson plum, cherry brandy, white roses, native violet and tuberose. It is graceful and has finesse and clarity in a way that few wines do. The oak handling has been exceptional, and the tannins are near-silent but ever-present. And all this in a challenging year. Bravo.
This wine stands out for its elegance, uniqueness, and originality, breaking free from conventional norms—thankfully! It doesn't resemble a typical Hunter wine or its unconventional blend of 47% shiraz, 34% merlot, and 19% petit verdot, all estate-grown. Instead, it embodies the essence of Lake's Folly, showcasing its purity, complexity, aroma, balance, and harmony. Few wineries achieve such a strong and consistent stylistic identity, earning it well-deserved accolades. Unapologetically medium-bodied, it features a refined palate with notes of damson plum, cherry brandy, white roses, native violet, and tuberose. This wine exudes grace, finesse, and clarity that few can match. The oak treatment is remarkable, and the tannins are subtly present yet unobtrusive. All of this comes from a challenging vintage—kudos to the winemakers!
