Awards and/or Press Quotes
Awards and/or Press Quotes 'Smells like salted ginger caramel and toasted gingerbread. How on earth does one describe a wine like this? It’s a Hans Zimmer soaring composition. It’s a drone flight over a stormy ocean. It’s storm waves pounding on black-rock cliffs and limes carved out of stone and honeyed samphire. It etches itself into your mouth. It tastes as if it’s been carved from somebody’s soul. Dry, tang, length, power, racy, focused, impossible to pull apart. It's glorious.' Jancis Robinson - 20 points out of 20
