Critics Ratings

'The 2015 Syrah includes two additional vineyards on granite soils after the 2015, whilst the whole bunch component is back up to 60%. It has a clean and precise bouquet with floral-tinged red berry fruit (red cherry and wild strawberry), nicely focused and developing more intensity with aeration. The palate is very well balanced with crisp acidity, fine structure, much more detail than the 2014 and I think that is down to the higher whole bunch proportion, the sense of energy flowing through on the long finish. Compared to the 2014 Syrah, I much prefer this: more freshness and complexity. 2018-2030' - Neal Martin, Wine Advocate, 93/100

'Smoky and dark-fruited with a dark, rocky freshness more akin to northern Rhône than anywhere else. Lightly peppery and with wonderful finesse in the texture. Such fine grain and elegance even with the fruit of a sunny climate. There's ripeness but also mouth-watering freshness in a dark elegant framework. Fresh tannins add to the coolness though you can still taste the sunshine. 2018-2030' - Julia Harding MW, JancisRobinson.com, 18/20 (May 2018)
