CRITIC REVIEWS
Julia Harding MW
Nose marked by oak char and really dry and oaky on the palate, as if the fruit has gone into its shell. Dense, fine-grained tannins but really showing its framework not its flesh at the moment. (JH)

There was a little VA on the nose of this barrel sample, otherwise it provided an excellent intensity of warm raspberry, Chinese dried plum, earth and game aromas plus a whiff of sandalwood. The rich, fleshy, full bodied palate has crisp acidity and very fine, firm tannins. Long finish.
