Tasting Notes

Deep purple-red, nose of freshly crushed berry fruit, clear and clean and great purity of expression, full of charm yet fine length and balance. Drink 2013-22. 4 stars.

Decanter Magazine

Pretty high volatility. Light, slightly powdery nose. Light fruit and a bit chewy and astringent on the finish. Sweetness on the front palate far from classic dry claret! Slightly pinched finish but quite elegant the right approach for the vintage. Drink 2011-16.

Jancis Robinson

A medium-bodied red, with good berry and mineral character, fine tannins and a medium finish. A little lean.
