James Suckling

A fresh and focused 2020 with blackcurrants, bark and walnut aromas and flavors. Medium-bodied with very well integrated tannins and a firm and bright finish. Drinkable, but better in a year or two.

Blackberry, sweet-tobacco and redcurrant aromas follow through to a medium body with firm, silky tannins and a creamy finish. Very fine texture.

Peter Moser - Falstaff Magazine

Deep dark ruby, opaque core, purple reflections, faint brightening on rim. Black wild berry fruit underlaid with fine fine wood savoriness, floral nuances, a hint of liquorice and cassis. Juicy, ripe sweet cherry, freshly structured, ripe tannins, lemony-mineral on the aftertaste.

Jane Anson - Decanter Magazine

Inky in colour with a firm structure, really standing to attention with the tingle of chewy muscular tannins at the close of play. You're getting well-ripened blackberry and blackcurrant fruits in this, laden with liquorice, cocoa bean and smoke. September 15 to October 1 for the harvest.
