The Real Review
Crimson in the glass, with perfumed layers of raspberry, strawberry confit and lilac florals mingled with clove oak and sanguine notes, and interspersed with hints of dried orange peel and whole-bunch stem. There’s a juicy intensity to its light body, straddling the ethereal and the punchy, with savoury, fine-grained tannins and a Campari-like amaro bitter finish. Finely detailed and ageworthy
95/100 Melissa Moore
Wine Companion
Get out the good glasses, this wine deserves it. Brings a deep, essence-like quality to the glass in scents of aromatic rose and violet, rose hip, pressed flowers, black cherry, Damson plum and bramble with a flourish of dried herbs. Oozes finesse. Fills the palate with a deep concentration of beautifully ripe red fruits dressed artfully in spice, dried herbs and carried across the tongue in firm, fine tannins. Oak toast builds an extra layer of interest. The result is a wine of hidden power and great elegance.
