Score 18/20 · Drink 2025-2034, Alistair Cooper MW, jancisrobinson.com, Oct 2022
Tasted blind. Candied red fruits on the nose. The palate is silky-smooth with detailed pencil-thin tannins that pepper the mouth. Ripe, sweet, red fruits, good concentration with lovely zingy acidity and subtle spice, black pepper and rose. This is all about the energy, the freshness and the vibrancy – refined, understated and very pretty. (AC)
