"It seems simple, fresh and fruity at first but as it breathes the frameworks shows through, in a good way. Thin sheets of tannin, fresh acidity, a general tidiness, a dryness to the finish. The back label suggests that it tastes of blueberry and blackberry pie: add mint and gunmetal and there you have it. It's uncomplicated; it drinks well; it has just enough character." Feb 2019

"The wine combines fruit richness and spicy complexity, showing black/blueberry, plum, hazelnut and mint chocolate characters on the nose, leading to a wonderfully weighted palate that is velvety and expansive. The wine offers terrific fruit power as well as structure and length. At its best: now to 2025" - March 2019
