Tasting notes
James Suckling (2020, 90 points): aromas of earth, oak, tobacco and black cherry; medium to full-bodied with soft tannins, still woody on the palate with lifting citrus notes, good length. Decanter World Wine Awards: engaging nose of coffee and earth atop dark red cherry, sleek and smooth with velvet tannins and cohesive acidity, excellent length.
