“A very subtle touch of oak influence sets off a pungently earthy mix of brooding red and dark berry fruit aromas trimmed in subtle spice and game notes precedes the impressively scaled and robust full-bodied flavours that are sleekly muscled and possess plenty of pop on the intense, complex, balanced and long finish. This is a powerful yet focused effort that retains a fine sense of underlying balance and this should benefit from up to a decade in the cellar first. 91-93 points.” Allen Meadows, Burghound (Jan 2009).
