Critics Ratings

'Distinctive, with singed iron and lilac hints, followed by a mix of boysenberry, blackberry and black currant fruit flavors. Dried star anise, cinnamon and black tea notes fill the finish, with iron-coated grip underneath. Tastes like a meeting of Cabernet and Nebbiolo. Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot. Drink now through 2020. 1,500 cases imported.' - 91/100 Wine Spectator (2015)

'Lively pencil lead, cocoa, oil and tar aromas - real sophistication with a flash of green character on the palate and pert tannins. Supreme length.' - Richard Hemming MW 17.5+/20, JancisRobinson.com ( 2018),
