James Suckling93 pts

Complex and classic style, offering parmesan crust, sweet violets, intense and fresh balsamic notes, black cherries and raspberries. There is tension here, with crisp acidity and chewy tannins, good ripeness, full body and a tight yet precise finish. Drink or hold.

Wine Enthusiast93 pts

The nose is defined by the medicinal semi-sweetness of black cherry, pomegranate, black licorice and espresso, and the palate has a similar feel as fennel and wild herbs balance sweet blackberries. Grippy, solid tannins accentuate a salted dark chocolate note which emerges on the finish.

Marked by a hot, dry summer, with sufficient rain to ripen and a beautiful September, yet the wines are heterogeneous; the best deliver purity, balance and energy
