Critics Ratings

‘Good medium ruby-red. Complex, ripe aromas of raspberry, coffee, smoke and underbrush. Impressively lush and sweet, with compelling flavors of black raspberry, graphite and chocolate lifted by underlying graphite and mineral notes. Finishes with big, lush, chewy, sweet tannins and excellent persistence.’ - Stephen Tanzer, Vinous, 90/100 (Mar 2005)

'There’s a nice minerally, cedary edge to the ripe fruit on the nose. The palate is elegant and ripe with chewy blackcurrant fruit with a chalky, mineralic edge. Very elegant. Very good/excellent.' - Jamie Goode, Wineanorak.com
