Ratings & Reviews

92-95 Points - Wine Spectator:

"Warm and steeped in feel, with fig, blackberry and plum fruit notes, layered with tobacco and warm earth details. A strong showing. Merlot and Cabernet Franc." Barrel sample. - James Molesworth (June 2019)

93-94 Points - James Suckling:

"A wine with lovely depth of fruit and ripeness, yet always refined and integrated with ripe fruit, fresh acidity and a long and satisfying finish. Could be best ever." (April 2019)
