Wow! 2018 and still young. Beautiful structure; could age for another 20 years. Blue fruits with a light freshness all derived from a superb structure with firm acidity which allows the fruit to come forward and express itself. — 4 months ago

8.2

Hmm. Not as good as i remember! Maybe its the maturing of my palate but i found this very over-done! The liquorice and general dark notes were interesting but too much sweetness, alcohol, and a touch too much acidity too. Not great — 3 months ago

Absolute bargain at the price. Up there with many Bordeaux blends at 3x the price. Balanced with good acidity and tannins; bramble fruit on the nose and a pronounced coffee note. — 4 months ago

Lovely garnet colour. Dark fruit, some spice, a touch of mint and pencil shavings on the nose. Too sweet for my taste on the palate but good balance of acidity and ripe tannin. Plump ripe texture. — 3 months ago

Hmm, slightly perplexed and disappointed! Not a bad wine, but not the wine i had hoped for or expected! Nice bright dark fruits but lacking the structure of a good Chianti! Almost TOO approachable; without the acidity I’d expected! — 5 months ago
