Critics Ratings
‘A beautiful earthiness together with some meaty notes and savoury compote notes are supported by good lifted aromas, on a wine that has entered its drinking window. The palate has lovely ripe fruit sweetness, a hint of plums, and is very much in a Southern Rhone style.’ – James Pietersen 2020, 90/100
‘Bright red-ruby. Wild, meaty aromas of black raspberry, smoke, iron and pepper. Juicy and intensely flavored, with compelling sweetness; not especially dense but lovely vinosity gives clarity to the flavors of dark berries, violet, leather and meat. I like this wine Old World texture and weight, not to mention its accurate varietal character. Finishes dense, sappy and long.’ – Stephen Tanzer, Vinous.com, 90/100 (2002)
