Critics Ratings

‘On the funky side, with dried berry, tar, game and grilled herb notes that run through the finish. Gains flesh and fruit with air, but still for fans of the style.’ – James Molesworth, Wine Spectator (May 2005)

‘Good ruby-red. Enticing aromas of raspberry, violet, leather, chocolate and meat. Sweet and supple fruit but firm, with berry, flint, and mineral flavours along with a distinctly funky leathery quality.’ – Stephen Tanzer, Vinous (Mar 2005)
