CRITIC REVIEWS
Tom Parker MW
Tasted blind. Deep ruby colour. Slightly muted on the nose with fresh rubber and summer pudding. The palate is lithe and sinewy, with fine but persistent tannins framing a bright core of red fruit. Lightly spiced on the finish, with hints of cedar and pine. Honest and compact. (TP)

71% Cabernet Sauvignon, 24% Merlot, 5% Petit Verdot. Deep crimson. Perfumed with cassis freshness, straightforward and a sense of small-berried fruit. Even some red fruit and a touch of vanilla. Really quite discreet. Finesse in the tannins, a delicacy that belies its persistence on the finish and just enough fruit at the core for harmony. Needs more time than some, I think. (JH)
