Review

"The aromas of iodine and blackcurrants with roses and lavender make the wine extremely perfumed. It’s full-bodied with a tight, fine-tannined palate that shows linear flow through the centre palate. It’s vertical and integrated, adding depth and serious quality to the wine." - 97pts, James Suckling
