Critics Ratings

‘Beautiful garnet rim, dense opulent nose with flesh, vivacity and superb complexity. Subtle nuances of peach skins, red cranberry fruit and sweet red cherry skins. Lovely purity with fine tertiary development. Palate is sleek, streamline, fresh and harmonious, with fresh acids and real brightness. Real sappy, cedary, pine resin note runs through the fruit with a savoury, lactic, raisined strawberry finish. Lovely and mature.’ - Greg Sherwood MW, A Fine Wine Safari, 93/100 (Apr 2017)
