Critics Ratings

‘This is turning out a bit better than I imagined it might with its fresh and pretty red berry fruit nose that presently displays only a trace of secondary character along with hints of earth and the sauvage. I like the vibrancy of the nicely intense medium weight flavors that are focused if not especially concentrated, all wrapped in a bright, clean and lingering finale. For my taste this hasn't quite yet arrived at its apogee but it's not so far away that it couldn't be enjoyed now. Drink 2020+.’ – Allen Meadows, Burghound.com, 91/100 (Dec 2017)

'Quite pale, limpid ruby. Introvert on the nose. Gentle, floral, charming palate with real sweetness, even if not great weight. Really charming! Just some fine tannins and lots of rose-petal fragrance.' - Jancis Robinson MW, JancisRobinson.com, 17.5/20 (Jan 2009)
