<p><b>94 points</b> - Pale gold with a green tint. Delicate and nuanced aromas, licks of pea shoot. Gentle grip, engaging texture, tight, energetic acidity and tailored concentration all in harmony. Touches of roast spring onion like characters, trace of barrel influence too. Very nice.</p><p>Tasted on Sat, Aug 23, 2025.</p>

<p><b>95 points</b> - Dark red purple. Aromas of blackberry, leafy tones and allspice. The palate shows brooding, fine almost bitter tannins. The acidity provides good lift. An excellent wine that is very young and needs time to come out of its shell - revisit in 2-3 years. Long lived.</p><p>Tasted on Tue, Oct 8, 2024.</p>

<p><b>95 points</b> - Deep purple red. Elegant, slightly meaty, peppery aromas. Withheld. Fleshy, dense with nicely ripe tannins, the fruit is expressive, displaying depth and power against the fine grained oak tannins. A lovely glass of wine with the ability to age.</p><p>Tasted on Tue, Oct 8, 2024.</p>

<p><b>95 points</b> - Deep purple red. Alluring, floral and cassis aroma, cigar box, also hints of iodine. Surprisingly medium bodied. Tannins soft, powdery, coal-dusty providing a gentle but distinctly chalky grip. Lovely wine showing elegance and charm.</p><p>Tasted on Wed, Apr 3, 2024.</p>

<p><b>95 points</b> - Dark red, purple tinge. Nose shows tar and olives. Tobacco leaves. A medium bodied, elegant wine. Just coming out of its shell. Primary mulberry fruit still lacing brightly through the tobacco aromas. Will be superb in a few years.</p><p>Tasted on Wed, Apr 3, 2024.</p>
