"This is a fine, ripe, spicy and perfumed wine. It's blackberry fruit and soft tannins give it structure as well as delicious fruitiness. The aftertaste is balanced with fine acidity. Drink now." - Wine Enthusiast (2017), 88 pts - BEST BUY

"Black currant and blueberry aromas carry to the palate where dark fruits are joined by cedar and bell pepper. Mouthcoating tannin and bouncy acidity lend structure. - FIONA ADAMS
