Critics Ratings
"Typically rustic, tarry top notes over perfumed blueberry, stewed plums and banana leaf. The palate is medium bodied and has a lovely savoury, appetising note to it, holding smoked meat nuance with the lovely mature blue and red fruits lifted by bright acidity. Elegant and classic." - Higgo Jacobs 94/100 (March 2026 – Tasted at recorking.)
