Critics Ratings
'Rich, deep and brooding with plenty of intensity, this wine has black cherry and damson fruit, along with smoky dark chocolate and a touch of vanilla from the oak. It's very powerful, full of ripe fruit and muscular tannins, so will need some time to mellow.' - Decanter World Wine Awards, 91/100 (2018)
'A firm and chewy red with dried berry and dark chocolate character. Medium body and a flavorful finish.' - James Suckling, 92/100
