A sumptuous wine teeming with raspberry coulis, dried herbs, Seville orange and white pepper accents. Yet I can’t extricate my senses from the whiff of smaller oak, used to be sure, but still palpable with its scent of sweet mocha from attack to finish. It adds that little bit of clutter, obfuscating the purity of site, the redoubtable quality of the fruit and the hand behind the wine while drying the finish. 93 Points – Ned Goodwin MW (Halliday Wine Companion)

92 Points – “Red fruit, nougat oak shows its hand (like a Montelimar from a box of Milk Tray, though don’t mind me), mint, some ginger and spice. Juicy red fruits, mint/dill and a saline character, creamy chalk dust tannin, and the structure here is very good, but gee that oak comes as something of a surprise to me, and at present it’s a bit distracting, though maybe it will be fine and dandy for others. Anyway, seductive style, offering fruit of excellent quality. It may settle down with some more time in bottle.” – Gary Walsh (The Wine Front)
