---|---|---|---|---|
100% Merlot on clay and gravel, 30% new oak. Dark smudgy black cherry colour. Refined small-berried dark fruit, as if just picked. A little chewy, flavourful, not terribly long but fruity and juicy. Score: 15 - 16 Julia Harding MW, JancisRobinson.com Maturity: 2015-2018 26 April 2013 |

A firm and juicy wine with a lovely texture and fruit. Medium body, with silky tannins and a chocolate, cream and berry aftertaste. 100% Merlot. Score: 88 - 89 James Suckling, JamesSuckling.com 21 April 2013 |

Pure and elegant, with bergamot and rose petal notes leading the way for red currant, cherry and raspberry fruit. Offers subtle spice and toast shading on the fine-grained finish. An understated style. Score: 90 - 93 James Molesworth, Wine Spectator 08 April 2013 |
