‘Very impressive.. starting to open beautifully.. exceptionally well-defined.. excellent mouthfeel.. great persistence.. Still improving, but already highly accessible.’
Colin Hay, The Drinks Business
- The 2012
‘The nose immediately puts one in the vicinity of Pomerol.. restrained and elegant a cooler, darker fruit profile. Plush, full, rich.. gloriously soft and enveloping tannins. Great intensity but with no harshness at all. This is starting to drink very well indeed.’
Colin Hay, The Drinks Business
- The 2015
‘...this wine is just beginning to show signs of maturity, with tannins that are smoothing out and blackberry fruits and generous Merlot flavours coming forward. Drink from late 2021...’
Roger Voss, 91

Colin Hay, The Drinks Business

'...lusciously textured dark cherries, black plums, licorice and chocolate are all over the place... more ripe fruits, cocoa and espresso. Soft and silky, forward, fresh and fruity...’
Jeff Leve, 91

‘.. impeccably made wine.. a dense purple hue as well as a great nose of wild strawberries, darker cherries, leafy herbs, and spring flowers. Soft, supple, and just undeniably delicious, it’s a terrific buy for those looking for a great Bordeaux to drink over the coming decade.’
