Media Reviews
Sarah Marsh
Inviting subtly perfumed aroma. The palate ripples gently and elegantly in a river of silk. This
wine is all about texture and perfume. Subtle, delicate yet rich. It is a fine balance to achieve in
this vintage and the finish is very pure and long and woven with minerality and fruit. Fine+ From
2016
Stephen Tanzer
Bright medium red. Vibrant, expressive aromas of red cherry liqueur, raspberry, minerals and mint. Then densely packed, juicy and showy on the palate, with fresh acidity and a floral element accentuating the wine`s red fruit flavors. Finishes with very suave but firm tannins, a hint of medicinal reserve and lovely length and lift. As sexy as this is now, it will probably be better in a decade. 91-94 points
Jancis Robinson
Really does smell of chestnuts! And compost. Dry finish – needs lots of time – quite brutal now. Firm tannins but lots of fruit concentration. Serious stuff. Drying tannins for the moment. Drink 2016-2026. 17 points
