“A subtle touch of wood frames pretty and seductive aromas of ripe dark berry fruit, soy, hoisin and a hint of anise, all of which can be found on the round and slightly austere flavours that finish in a pure, linear and minerally finish. This is almost Cistercian in personality at present and will require a few years in bottle to flesh out but it should be capable of that because there is good mid-palate concentration. A quality villages. 87-89 points.” Allen Meadows, Burghound (Jan 2009).
