Critics Ratings

'Deep inky red colour; the nose is earth, savoury, blackcurrants, liquorice, alongside black cherry, and almost a toasted rosemary note. The palate is elegant, with dark chocolate, black fruit, thickly structured yet sweet, powdery tannins. The fruit is wonderfully ripe with a surprising concentration, much denser than expected with decent length. Smart wine.' - CellarTracker.com, 90/100 (Jun 2020)

'This seductive sleeper of the vintage exhibits a sweet perfume of licorice, black cherries, herbs, earth, and spring flowers. Its lovely texture, beautiful purity, and long finish suggest this unusually seductive 2005 can be enjoyed over the next 12+ years.' - Robert Parker, Wine Advocate, 90/100 (Apr 2008)
