Tasting Notes
Clive Coates MW critic
Youthful colour. Still purple. Cassis fruit. Medium bodied. Ripe, on the delicate side but intense, stylish and balanced. Just about ready. Very good.
James Suckling critic
Powerful and hard, with a classy dryness, one of the best wines I have tried from this property. Dark ruby-purple, with a lovely grape and raspberry nose, full-bodied, with tons of tannins and lots of medium-sweet fruit flavours. Very solid.
