Reviews:

• Wine Enthusiast: A bit closed on the nose, this reveals notes of cocoa, potpourri and wet cement with some time in the glass. There’s nice roundness to the medium-bodied palate, with tart red and black berries never relenting. The acidity is pulsing and veers sour, with a mildly green oak tone arising on the finish.

• James Suckling: Notes of dark cherries, blackberries, bacon, sweet spice and herbs. Medium body with fine tannins. Velvety and generous with damsons and figs on the mid-palate and a spicy finish. Some good length here.
