Rated vintages

  • 201391 pts

    A powerful and concentrated wine that has solid tannins and a tight, firm structure. It comes from heavily granitic soil, giving a steely texture that will take time to soften. As the red cherry and plum flavors develop, it will broaden out impressively. Drink from 2016.

  • 201189 pts

    Intensely juicy, this is packed with acidity and tight red-cherry fruit layered with firm tannins. It feels a little austere at the moment, and it is likely to take time to open.

  • 201090 pts

    Ripe, densely structured wine, balancing tannins, acidity and red plum and cherry fruit flavors. There's a strong mineral edge here, a wine that needs 2–3 years of aging, to round out its edges.
