Critics Ratings
‘Delivers blackberry, licorice and dark chocolate character on the nose. Full and rich, with velvety tannins and a long finish. Smoky, decadent and wonderful. The best wine from this estate in a long, long time.’ – James Suckling, Wine Spectator, 92/100 (Mar 2008)
‘Tasted blind. Blackish ruby. Rather opulent and satisfying on the nose and alluring on the palate. Some freshness. Slightly bitter finish. But really good start.’ – Jancis Robinson, JancisRobinson.com, 16/20 (Feb 2017)
