“The palate manages to present such crunchy blue fruits across a mesh of structured, chewy tannins. Full-bodied, tangy and long on the finish. Very dynamic. Delicious now but better from 2020.

James Suckling/Nick Stock

“...full-bodied and smoothly textured, rich and fleshy, with great depth and amplitude. A gorgeous wine of real gravitas. Luxurious fruit-sweetness and wonderful texture. Quietly powerful, profound and sedately flowing like a deep river of flavour.”
