James Suckling: 95pts
Lots of plums, balsamic undertones, meats and spices. Full body, firm tannins and a fresh finish. Tangy and bright. Linear and refined. Lots of sweet oranges and plums. A deep and powerful wine. Better in 2018. Sept 2015
Wine Enthusiast: 90pts
Aromas of espresso, underbrush, leather, dark spice, mature black-skinned fruit and a suggestion of oak lead the way. The firm palate offers dried black cherry, mocha, vanilla and star anise alongside fine-grained tannins that leave a dusty finish. Kerin O’Keefe, May 2016
