92 / 100"The density of fruit and chewy tannins impresses. It’s rather muscular and cool in structure, with a steely stone character. Some flint, too. Medium-bodied. Chewy at the end. Give this two or three years to soften, but it’s excellent for the vintage."

92 / 100
"Intense, concentrated wine with black cherry/berry, raspberry, vanilla, chocolate flavours supported by fine, drying tannins and fruity acidity. Should age well. Give your glass a good swirl to aerate the wine."
- Bob Campbell MW
Tasting Notes
The nose is dense and intriguing, with layered black and blue berry fruits, toasted spice, cola and an ethereal floral lift. The palate is velvety and plush up front, brimming with wild berry fruits, currants, lightly roasted coffee beans and just a hint of sweet baking spice. A streak of fine acidity brightens the mid palate, blending seamlessly with a veil of powdery fine tannins to lift the palate towards a satisfyingly elegant finish.
