Tasting notes
“Strawberries, blueberries and violets with woody notes. It’s full-bodied with a balanced, juicy texture, tight and fine tannins and a medium, savory finish. Try after 2022.”
James Suckling : 92
“Light framed and fragrant, with clear redcurrant and red cherry fruits, touches of gentle rosemary spice, well-worked tannins through the finish and a cinnamon brushed close of play. This can be opened soon, especially if given a good hour in a carafe, and offers an enjoyable and succulent wine”
Jane Anson - Decanter : 89
