Awards and/or Press Quotes | |
Wine Spectator | 88 Points. 'A hint of mocha mixes with flavours of mulberry, melted liquorice, fig paste and dried herb in this chewy red, backed by tangy acidity.' |
Stephen Tanzer | 90 Points. 'Bright Purple. High-pitched aromas of black raspberry, candied flowers and Asian spices. Silky and tightly focused, offering lively red and dark berry flavours that gain weight and sweetness with air. Juicy, focused and pure, offering vibrant red currant and bitter cherry flavours and a suave, weightless character. Finishes brisk and long , with resonating spiciness and soft tannins.' |
