93 JGWA "Ripe blackcurrant fruit here with grippy, spicy notes and a touch of mint. There’s a bit of earthy savouriness under the fruit. It’s still very fresh and quite structured. A lovely wine." 91 WS "A powerful nose, with sweet tobacco and sultana, follows through to a full body, featuring ultrafine tannins and a long, long finish, as well as lovely texture."
