Awards and/or Press Quotes | |
Robert Parker | 95 Points |
Wine Enthusiast | 93 Points. ‘Mature black-skinned berry, ripe plum, menthol, leather and tobacco are just some of the aromas that emerge on this full-bodied red. The firm, spicy palate delivers dried black cherry, blackberry, ground pepper, clove, espresso and liquorice alongside a backbone of youthfully assertive but refined tannins. Give it time to fully develop.’ |
