None exported to the U.S.  I brought in a 6-pack after tasting it.  Roennfeldt is one of the most incredible vineyards in OZ. (See Greenock Creek's bottling).  Wow.

99 Points - Stuart McCloskey:

“This is simply off the charts in terms of aromatic concentration. Save for the Standish collection, this is as concentrated as it gets. The bouquet is brooding and invites you in with an intense and warming hug filled with spiced dark fruits, wonderful florals (more so than the 2017), violets, confit blue and blackberry, graphite, Indian ink, asphalt – I could quite honestly keep going! The palate is drenched with sweet, ripe black fruits underpinned with a little tart berry quality which contrasts perfectly. Notes of coffee and chocolate, crushed red currant, wood smoke, and that tell-tale floral & blackberry. The concentration is extraordinary and I love the chew the tannins which is very much needed. There’s lots of sweet spiced fruit too and a sense of symmetry. In some ways, it possesses the same DNA found in the ’18 Standish. Decant for 4-6 hours. This will live for 20-30 years"
