    95-97. Barrel sample. Showing new wood spice, this rich and full-bodied wine also has weighty fruit, with creamy and herbaceous qualities.

  • 201092 pts

    91-93 New, polished wood and mint aromas, a wine that shows big wood tannins. The fruit has the right weight to come through all the wood, with acidity already an important factor.

  • 200993 pts

    92-94 Barrel sample. Spiced pears in red wine, an exotic range of sweet berry fruits and nutmeg, along with a solid core of structure. Intriguing wine.

    88-90 Barrel sample. The wood is the dominant character here, the fruit hinting at herbacousness, but forced behind all that toast.
