Critics Ratings

‘Tasted blind. Mid ruby. Pale rim. Sweet and very ripe on the nose. Then dry and a bit dusty on the finish. Not quite enough to hold it all together in the middle. I wonder whether it will ever take on quite enough flesh to deliver gorgeousness? But it is juicy and fun – almost ready.’ – Jancis Robinson MW, JancisRobinson.com, 17+/20 (Sep 2015)

‘This has depth and ripeness, but stays defined, with an almost searing iron spine cutting through the core of plum, blackberry and currant fruit. The long finish lets bay leaf, tobacco and chestnut notes fill in. Showing great drive and intensity, this is still very youthful now and will benefit from extended cellaring.’ - James Molesworth, Wine Spectator, 95/100 (July 2012)
