Critics Ratings

'The nose is brooding with notes of red and black berries plus compelling hints of roast coffee, earth, undergrowth and a touch of nuttiness while the palate is full bodied with deep, dense fruit, bright acidity and a savoury finish. Complex and balanced, this is tertiary in the best sense.' - Christian Eedes, 95/100 (Apr 2022)

'Camphor, sweet mint, toffee and coffee notes. Hints of prune, chocolate liqueur and leather in a sweet but delicious core that is mature, yet stable and lively. Soft, plush, harmonious, and still very bright, retaining a fine chalky tannin and dusty dry finish.' - Higgo Jacobs (Apr 2022)
