Critics Ratings
“14–18 months in oak, about 50–70% new. Mid crimson. Rich and sweetly spiced on the nose. Rich in relative terms. Both red and black fruit. Succulent, delicate and with a scented aftertaste. Overall lightly built.” - Julia Harding MW, JancisRobinson.com, 17/20 (Feb 2013)
“Firm structured fruit on nose and palate. A combination of raspberries and tannin. Elegance and depth with a certain freshness. Great length.” - Tom Cannavan, wine-pages.com, 93/100 (Jan 2013)
