Critics Ratings
"Good restraint here, with classic cassis fruit and a dark liquorice and aniseed character on the palate. High but fine tannin. Enough fruit at its core to age well. Finishes with a faint rubber character." - Richard Hemming MW, JancisRobinson.com, 17/20 (Nov 2017)
"Mature, with polished edges to the mix of coffee, tobacco, steeped black currant and warm fig paste flavors. Light loam and savory hints add range on the finish. Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot." - James Molesworth, Wine Spectator, 90/100 (Feb 2018)
