91 Wine Enthusiast The nose is headlined by black cherry, candied orange peel and dark chocolate, with undertones of crushed rock and top soil for depth. The palate is laden with cherries, plums and citrus which is brighter, but also more bitter, in contrast to a richer chocolate note that stretches over polished, structured tannins.
90 Falstaff Bright ruby red colour with a shimmering rim. Compact on the nose, cherry, blackberry and a hint of lavender. Structured on the palate, lots of juice, ripe tannins, vibrant acidity and a persistent, savoury finish.
