Score 15/20 · FINE+RARE

A very black, sloe fruit nose which is echoed on the dense, black palate. A little too dry and dense.

Score 88-89/100 · James Suckling

Mineral and blueberry character with fine tannins and a fresh finish. Refined style of Sociando with firm backbone. Needs a little more fruit in the mid-palate. jamessuckling.com

Score 85-88/100 · Wine Spectator

Moves a bit too quickly, with cherry skin, plum pit and blueberry notes that soon give way to a lightly firm, woodsy edge on the finish. James Molesworth, WineSpectator.com
