Wine Critic Reviews

Andreas Larsson - Tasted (90): Inky dark purple colour. The nose offers red and dark berries blended with some fresh herbs like sage and mint with fine oak. Good density on the palate, nice toast and mocha flavours, ripe tannin, ambitious and well-made with fine persistency.

Wine Enthusiast (91): The quality of the vintage shows in this wood-aged wine. Rich black fruits and still-young tannins are combining to give the potential of richness. Jammy Merlot along with Cabernet Sauvignon and Malbec will come together well and the wine should be ready from 2021.
