95pts Falstaff

Dense cherry red with garnet edges. Appealing, fully ripe plum, cherry and mocha flavours on the nose. Cedar wood and lots of pepper on the finish. Precise on the palate, with clear fruit and tightly woven tannins. Great potential!

Black beans, dried herbs, mocha and cherries on the nose of this medium-bodied red. It’s juicy and toasty with mellow tannins and lingering hints of coffee. Drink now or hold.

Wine Enthusiast

Herbal notes of tobacco and sage lead the way, intertwined with a blend of sweet cinnamon and savory allspice. Blackberry and dark plum flavors drive the palate, creating a lush and rounded finish.
