93 Wine Showcase Magazine
92 Halliday – “This is a smooth, well-flavoured wine with just enough of everything that counts. Pure blackcurrant and bay leaf flavours flow through the palate, creamy vanillin oak draped over the top. It’s not full on but there’s enough richness here to satisfy. The tannin profile, slightly grainy, suggests that it should mature well, too.” – Campbell Mattinson November 2022

91 Wine Orbit – “It’s charming and inviting on the nose with blackcurrant, toasted almond, thyme and subtle game notes, followed by a finely textured palate that is elegantly weighted and splendidly fruited. Supple and rounded with polished tannins, offering attractive drinking.” – Sam Kim June 2022
