"This is ultimately a spicy, red-fruited expression...It is fresh and beautiful and slinky, in its way." - Erin Larkin, Wine Advocate - 95 Points “Such projection, finesse and immaculate balance. … The sleekest of tannins here, this is a wine which lingers with intent.” - Kent Gargett, Quill and Pad - 97 Points “… Smells briney and herbal with a top note of liquorice. Nicely married aromas. Tastes salty too with a firm, dry finish though the tannins are clearly ripe and well worked. … Despite its 14.5% alcohol, there's not a jot of alcoholic heat on the long finish, which is so clean and pure it's almost bracing.” - Jancis Robinson, JancisRobinson.com, 17/20
