"Ripe, pure and very enticing bouquet of black berry fruits and dark  plums, sweet toasty barrel spices and violets. There’s a mix of clay and stone earthy scents and a brooding power. Lovely weight and tension on the palate, core fruit flavours mirror the bouquet with tannins and acidity delivering a youthful tautness. Barrel and fruit flavours fill the mid palate perfectly, a wine of substance and power with best drinking from 2025 through 2035" Cameron Douglas, Master Sommelier, Nov 2022

"A blend of merlot, cabernet sauvignon and cabernet franc. It's a fresh, lively red with red fruits, floral, spice and fresh herb flavours with a firm acid and tannin backbone that should mellow with bottle age" Bob Campbell, Master of Wine, Real Review, Mar 2022

Attractive floral, dark black fruits and forest floor notes. Soft and moreish. Fine lingering tannins with a lovely savoury finish.
