Decanter, 93 Points 

"The first time specific blocks have been used for this wine. Dark forest berry notes on the nose with perfumed elements and notes of milk chocolate. Supple and agile, generous with textured, slightly grainy tannins that are so pleasant - expansive and round in the mouth. It's well built and very approachable with blackcurrant and black cherry flavours on the palate. Concentrated, deep and layered but still with elegance. Extremely characterful. A blend of the 2018 and 2019 vintages with 18 months ageing in French oak barrels. 1% Petit Verdot completes the blend." 

Winemaker Notes: 

"Profuse, dark-fruit aromas of black cherry, plum, and cassis are complemented with more nuanced notes of cedar, cigar box, and toasty brioche. Juicy flavors of boysenberry, blackberry, and dark cherry flood the palate and are braced by powdery tannins and ample acidity. The long, plush finish delivers hints of black pepper, dark chocolate, and espresso."
