What the critics say.

… dense red-purple; rich, concentrated blackberry, dark plum and licorice … subliminal lift of Viognier … subtle background of French oak; not over-extracted nor is it overripe, very fine tannins. To 2021.

… medium bodied good blackcurrant fruit supported by fine, almost sweet tannins and appropriate oak; excellent mouth feel and balance. To 2020.

… spicy and blackcurrant aromas are complicated by white pepper, graphite and dried flowers; there is a distinctly Northern Rhône-like coolness here … I like the finesse here.

… deep red, suave blackberry, cassis and kirsch on the nose, with hints of tobacco and vanillin and oak spice … admirable purity … picking up minerals with air; finishes with gentle tannic grip and excellent persistence, leaving sweet but dark fruit in its wake.
