Critics Ratings

'Enticing and complex aromatics of red and black berries, flowers, dried herbs, earth and spice. The palate has a wonderful sinuous quality to it, which is to say it possesses both weight and poise - dense fruit, bright acidity and tannins that still lend shape. Very much still intact.' - Christian Eedes, 97/100 (Apr 2022)

'It says "full-bodied" on the label, but this pure Cabernet Sauvignon is anything but, especially when you compare it with the styles that are produced today. Ginger spice and dried herb aromas are a prelude to a stunning palate of cassis, tobacco pouch and redcurrant, with excellent underlying structure, bright acidity and a vivacious finish.' - Tim Atkin MW, 96/100 (Apr 2022)
