JAMES SUCKLING: "A creamy, plush red with pretty blueberry, lavender, chocolate and light toffee notes. Full body with a fine, caressing tannin structure. Textured and fine."

DECANTER: "Ripe fruit and perfume on the nose, very clearly scented with concentration and intensity. Palate shows density and weight with a touch of rusticity to the tannins; the wood spice, caramel, clove, vanilla, and toast flavours coming through quite strongly and overshadowing the fruit at this point. But the overall weight and length is good and this has excellent acidity keeping things lively underneath the other elements. A bright and unfussy wine that will be good in a few years.
