Reviews

James Suckling 93

Blackberry and fresh herb character such as basil or oregano. Full to medium body, chewy tannins and a long, intense finish. A young red with focus and energy. Drink in 2021.

Wine Enthusiast 93

Spicy, packed with dark fruit, rich chocolate and pepper, this is a powerful, sumptuous wine. Juicy fruit is beginning to shine through this generous exterior, promising a good potential and the likelihood the wine will be ready to drink from 2023.

Wine Spectator 92

This has some panache, featuring showy fig, boysenberry and blackberry confiture notes strutting through. Shows ample grip, with bramble and graphite accents running underneath, while flashes of singed apple wood and anise check in.
