"Lovely smelling wine. Blackberry and cassis and sweet, classy oak, with earthy, new-leather underpinning it all and pushing it forward. The palate too is impressive, with charry-sweet oak and blackberry driving throughout and excellently balanced, grainy tannins on the finish. There’s a block of milk chocolate hovering about – it’s got depth and robust power, if not quite the tightness for the super long-term. Excellent. 92 Points
