Rated vintages

  • 201384 pts

    This wine is soft and somewhat disjointed, uncertain of its structure. Highlights are caramel-toffee oak and a tease of anise amongst blackberry and black current.

  • 201184 pts

    Sweet tannins and an extracted, concentrated sense of brambly blackberry make for a robust wine, puckering in weight and oak. Rustic, leathery overtones dominate the bouquet and finish.

  • 200793 pts

    A stunningly good, young Cabernet, marked by rich, ripe flavors of blackberries, black currant and cedar flavors, wrapped into strong but fine tannins. Lovely and sweet now, with some decanting, and should develop bottle complexity over the next 6–8 years.
