RATINGS

96Wine Enthusiast

...structure, elegant black fruits and rich tannins. Densely textured and vibrantly fruity, the wine has a fine future.

95Vinous / IWC

...super-classic bouquet of dried herbs, pencil shavings, licorice and mint. Medium in body and wonderfully nuanced...one of the most elegant...

95James Suckling

Aromas of mushroom, meat, bark and iodine with blackberries and blackcurrants, following through to a full body with firm, creamy tannins that give structure and form to the wine... Long and persistent with presence.

95+ Jeb Dunnuck

Beautiful cassis and mulberry fruits as well as notes of leafy tobacco, spice, cedarwood, and spring flowers... Medium to full-bodied, beautifully balanced, and elegant, it has loads of fruit, a seamless texture, and a good spine of acidity.

93+ The Wine Advocate

...notes of kirsch, black raspberries and warm cassis...medium-bodied palate is wonderfully elegant and refreshing...lovely soft tannins and a long, perfumed finish. Impressive!
