CRITIC REVIEWS
Georgina Hindle
Expressive and charming on the nose full of red fruit aromas and floral scents. Soft, supple and juicy with a subtle chew to the tannins, plump and bouncy, while still being quite serious and focussed overall. Direct from the start to finish with excellent balance and harmony. Lots to like here.
Jane Anson
Intense cassis, prune and fig fruits, this has juice and balance but is serious in character, with slate and crayon notes, peony flowers, and clear ageing potential. 30% new oak, harvest September 9 to 25. Vinified in the old winery but all ageing took place in the stunning new cellars with their underground barrel ageing area. 30% of overall production in HBII.
