Critics' Tasting Notes:
"Very interesting nose with black pepper and emphatic flowers. Notably perfumed and smooth on the palate. Tannins insist on the end. Just a little inky on the end but gorgeous upfront. Good persistence." Drink 2020-2030
16.5/20 points, Jancis Robinson, JancisRobinson.com, April 2015
"It offers light leafy, brambly red berry fruit on the nose, nicely defined but missing a little intensity. Likewise the palate is balanced and quite elegant, yet I was seeking more body and greater sense of energy on the finish. As such, I would be drinking this over the next seven or eight years, no longer." Drink 2017-2025
87/100 points, Neal Martin, Wine Advocate, March 2017
Pair with any roast red meat dishes, or hard cheeses such as Cheddar or Gouda.
