“Coffee beans, walnuts, cherries and figs on the nose of this ripe, juicy and delicious red. It’s full-bodied and ripe, yet balanced, with firm tannins that are integrating nicely. Long and composed. Lots of potential.” 94 Points, James Suckling

“.. offers plenty of currant and berry character on the nose, together with hints of violets and spice. Medium-bodied and super smooth on the palate with tannins that firm up towards the end. Yet, the clean black fruit remains vivid and focused through the long, balanced finish. Sustainable. A delicious red that’s inviting now, but will only gain with further aging in bottle. Best from 2026.” 94 points, James Suckling
