It’s a beautiful wine, with a base of red plums on the palate, dusted with mulling spices. Finishes with a flourish of clay and chalk.

James Suckling
Exceptional vintage. The sage is right to the fore here with a slight meaty edge too, some iodine, some very savory herbal notes too, meaty and savory, lighter red fruits. The palate has fine, lithe and rich tannins that collect fruit flavor and drive through the finish with plenty of spice, red and dark fruit flavors, great depth and richness.

Wine Spectator
A rambunctious wine, brimming with personality. Round and earthy, with a distinct barnyard note that cuts through the rich black cherry, blackberry and leathery, leafy, almost rustic flavors that persist on the finish.
