Critic Notes

I am impressed. Blue-fruit and blackberry character with crushed stone and cement. Dried lavender, too. It’s full and chewy with polished tannins. Really focused. One of the best I have had from here.

Score: 93-94 / 100James Suckling

Open nose – fruity – slight volatility – blue fruit spectrum and touch of liquorice. Juicy, fleshy, generous mid palate concentration. Light tannin structure. Requires more acidity / freshness, structural depth and fruit definition to compete with better examples from the appellation.
