Wine critics reviewsReviews by Jancis Robinson and Suckling

Bright crimson in colour. Plump and soft, all red cherries and plums, with ripe and integrated tannins. Good fruit drive but fairly simple, with a clean, slightly caramelised finish.

— Tom Parker (05/09/2019)JancisRobinson.com Vintage 2015 - 15.5 JANCIS ROBINSON

Violet, dark-berry and stone aromas follow through to a medium to full body. Linear and very fine. Tight and fresh. Precise and beautiful. A serious young red. Drink in 2022.
