Wine Critic Reviews

Cameron Douglas MS (93): There’s no mistaking the core bouquet of red berry fruits, some fresh black currant and peppercorn qualities in the bouquet. Scents are of a new, youthful and still settling in wine. This is confirmed on the palate with core flavours red berry fruits and black currant set in a taut frame of youth accentuated by acidity and tannins. The use of oak is judicious and well placed. Well made with development time still ahead offering best drinking from 2026 through 2034+.

Raymond Chan Wine Reviews (92.5): Deep, dark purple, slightly lighter on the rim. The nose is generous, with aromas of plum, black cherry, spice, and hints of meaty nuance. Full-bodied, the aromas of plum and black cherry are entwined with clove, nutmeg, roasted meat, and rich herbs. The wine is mouth-filling and rich with forward fruit, enriched by spice and meaty details. Fine-grained tannins and lively acidity lightly frame the fruit and lend a succulent, moreish finish. Match with lamb burger and beef ribs over the next 3-5 years.
