Professional reviews

Winespectator (90)

Warm cassia and cherry paste flavors are carried by a light chalky spine, picking up flecks of savory and tobacco on the fresh finish. Shows nice typicity. Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon.

James Suckling (93)

Some graphite and toasted spicy fruits, which create an impressive opening. Iodine and dark berries follow. The palate has a similarly spicy start, which builds waves of fine, ripe tannins that hold impressively fresh and deep.

Falstaff (93)

Deep dark ruby colour, opaque core, violet reflections, delicate edge brightening, very attractive black berry fruit of cassis and blueberries, inviting fruit sweetness, candied orange zest. Juicy, elegant, fine blackberry confit, integrated tannins, mineral and persistent, very good length, good ageing potential.
