Critics Ratings

'Caramel plus nutty, earthy notes on the nose. Broad, smooth textured and easy going on the palate. Primary fruit has all gone and this is very tertiary but quite comforting to drink.' - Christian Eedes (Apr 2022)

'Impressive longevity from this cuvée of Cabernet Sauvignon and Cinsault. Complex, balsamic and fully mature with notes of tobacco leaf, rose petal and wild mushroom, fine-grained, detailed tannins and a core of summer pudding fruit.' - Tim Atkin MW, 93/100 (Apr 2022)
