Wine Critic Reviews

Andreas Larsson - Tasted (91): Spicy aromas of cumin, pepper, leather and darker fruit. Medium weight with rather dense fruit, a youthful texture, but rounded extract, generous fruit notes and a fine length.

Jeff Leve, The Wine Cellar Insider (91): Sweet and smoky with tobacco leaf, espresso, lead pencil and ripe, dark red berry notes create the aromatic profile. On the palate, the wine is soft, round, polished, sweet and fruity. There is lift, character and a load of ripe red berries in the finish. Enjoy this while waiting for the Grand Vin to develop.

Falstaff (91): Dark ruby garnet, purple reflections, delicate edge brightening. Fine cassis, black cherries, a hint of liquorice, fresh orange zest. Juicy, red berry, fresh cherries, integrated tannins, delicate hibiscus, mineral-salty finish.
