94 NM. "A deep garnet core with dark ruby rim . . . . More sous-bois/tertiary character with a touch of wild hedgerow and even a little mulberry and capsicum. A medium-bodied palate, tertiary personality, good acidity, some oak still unresolved with a bit of a hard landing on the finish. Moderate length. A decent La Mission, workmanlike but austere. This has firmed up over the last few months . . ." Neal Martin, Wine Journal, Jul 2008 |
