Score 94/100 · James Suckling, Oct 2019
Lots of aromas of tar and dark berries with walnuts and currants that follow through to a full body. The round, soft tannins are tight and focused with lovely freshness. Better after 2021, but already beautiful to drink.

Score 14.5/20 · Drink 2019-2024, Tom Parker MW, jancisrobinson.com, Sep 2019
68% Cabernet Sauvignon, 28% Merlot, 4% Petit Verdot. Harvested 25 September to 18 October. Bright crimson colour. Fresh and a little lean on the nose with sour cherry and red plum. Chalky palate, some juicy plum but lacking a little intensity. Leafy notes and savoury spice on an acid finish. (TP)
