Awards, Ratings & Reviews

Gold — Paris Wine Cup
(2018 Vintage, Awarded: 2021)

98/100 — James Suckling
(2018 Vintage, Tasted: Aug 2020)

“This has some ripe redcurrant and plum-pastry aromas with an edge of camphor, violets and blueberries. Sappy aromas with hints of tar, iodine and bergamot, too. There’s a very intense core of dark-plum flavor, as well as a band of chocolate fondant. Smooth-honed and very intense. As suave as it is powerful. Drink over the next two decades.”
