Tasting Notes

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
