Critics Ratings
‘This is a great success for the year, a wine that is dense, characterized by balance between sweet fruit and solid tannins. Spice from the finely judged wood aging adds extra complexity, as do the plum and berry fruits. For aging.’ - Roger Voss, Wine Enthusiast, 94/100 (Apr 2010)
‘This has a wonderful nose, with blackberry, currant and cigar box. Complex and full-bodied, with layers of ripe, polished tannins and a very long finish. Juicy, yet refined and agile. Best after 2014.’ - James Suckling, Wine Spectator, 92/100 (Mar 2010)
