RATINGS & REVIEWS


92 points – Erin Larkin, Halliday Wine Companion

Spiced mulberry, blackberry and licorice on the nose. The palate falls in line, with additional medjool date, quince, and bitter cocoa. While the density and concentration of flavour is spot on, those Christmas cake characters feel a touch out of place in a wine so young. The oak plays a big role right now, too. This is merely an observation, as it is delicious. Good length of flavour rounds this out.
