Professional reviews

Winespectator (94)

An earthy, multilayered red, with a lot of stuffing and seductive mulled plum and cherry flavors, layered with wet leaves, black licorice and shaved graphite. Gains warmth and charm from well-integrated grilled apple wood, incense and baking spice notes. Delivers generous fruit yet reveals serious focus through the persistent finish, which goes on and on. Grenache, Cinsault, Syrah and Mourvèdre.

James Suckling (95)

Deep nose of beautifully ripe damson plums dusted with pepper and allspice. Really impressive structure and concentration for the challenging vintage, but the best thing about this wine is the finesse of the tannins that gently build to a stunning crescendo at the precisely nuanced finish, which has the freshness of the vintage in the most positive way. A cuvee with two-thirds grenache, plus mourvedre and just a touch of syrah. From organically grown grapes.

Jancis Robinson (16.50)

Tasted blind. Wild and vibrant nose – forest fruits and liquorice. A rich and concentrated, sweet dark-fruit-led palate. Quite intense in style with well-managed, taut tannins. Dense, opulent and well balanced. Very appealing!
