JAMES SUCKLING: "Pretty raspberry, currant and spice-box character with some orange zest. Tight, lightly grainy tannins. Medium-bodied and juicy."

DECANTER: "Playful and lively on the palate, the tannins are quite pronounced in their robust mouthfilling texture. The savoury, salty, dark chocolate and graphite flavours dominate the fruit at present. Stops a little short in terms of fruit persistence but this has nicely worked fruit and tannins, with the acidity keeping it lifted. Slightly more sombre perhaps with that bitter, iodine touch at the end. Such charm, nonetheless, and an appealing no-frills attitude."
