2020 VINTAGE

95 Points, Wine Orbit (Sam Kim)

Upfront and immediately appealing, the bouquet shows dark cherry, rich floral, game, olive and nutmeg aromas, leading to a juicy palate that’s plump and flavoursome. Wonderfully supported by refreshing acidity and fine tannins, making it generous and delectably appealing.

92 Points, James Suckling (Ryan Montgomery)

Dark and brooding, with aromas of black cherries, plums, licorice, dark chocolate, cloves and dried herbs. The palate is full-bodied with firm, chewy tannins, a dense, savory mouthfeel and a long finish with a bitter chocolate and spice edge. Bold, structured and built to age.

2018 VINTAGE

95 Points, Wine Orbit (Sam Kim)

This is perfumed and inviting on the nose showing red plum, warm spice, vanilla and cedar notes, followed by a succulent palate that’s silky and lingering. Beautifully framed by chalky tannins, finishing structured and lingering. At its best: now to 2032.

91 Points, James Suckling (Nick Stock)

Captures richness and concentration convincingly, with bold dark-fruit aromas of cherry and plum with some savory, earthy elements, too. The palate has sturdy, rich and dense tannins that are swathed in ripe-berry flavors.
