Ratings & Reviews

93 Points - James Suckling:

"Overt and fruity with assertive raspberries, bay leaves and roasted black peppercorns. The full-bodied, supple palate is warming, showing crisp acidity and tight yet ripe tannins. A bit sticky in the finish. Drinkable now but best from 2028." (Feb 2026)

93 Points - Falstaff:

"Rich, deep ruby red colour with brownish edges. A playful nose of dried roses, liquorice, ripe plums, blackberries and chocolate. Subtly medicinal on the finish. Full-bodied on the palate, ripe plums and dates, with rich chocolate savouriness, noticeable, grippy tannins and a slightly savoury finish." (Nov 2025)
