Critic Reviews
95 POINTS
James Suckling
Savory and earth-driven aromas of dark cherries, blood plums, red apple skin and tobacco leaves. The palate is medium-bodied with firmly integrated tannins and bright acidity, giving notes of potpourri, boysenberries, dried herbs, coffee beans and cassia bark. Well balanced and integrated from 30 months in foudres. Excellent. Drink or hold. Screw cap.
Winemakers Notes
Layers of complexity and mouthfeel. The tannins come in gentle waves and the flavours bubble and unfurl with the texture. It’s difficult to determine where the fruit flavours end and the tannin flavours take over on the insanely long finish.
