Reviews

90 Points & Silver Medal – 2024 The Real Review

"Vibrant purple and ruby colours. Aromas of crushed cherries and raspberries and dried woody herbs lift from the glass. Medium weight dark cherry fruits, some terracotta earthiness sits underneath and as it flows on gravelly tannins we see dried herbal notes. Good length and certainly bone dry to end” – Stuart Knox
