92 / 100"This is tight and precise, with lots of cut from start to finish, as chiseled graphite and iron notes support the dark currant, mulled fig and crushed blackberry fruit. Long and toasty, but well-integrated on the lilac-tinged finish."

"A delicious wine, so fruity. It does have the proper tannins but it is a wine that is already approachable with its sweet fruits a pleasure to taste. However, for the future, watch those tannins."

"Blueberry, plums and citrus rind aromas, follow through to a full body, with juicy tannins and a tangy finish. Round and delicious."

Tasting Notes
The vineyard compromises of mainly Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot. The grapes are harvested by hand and fermented in temperature-controlled stainless steel vats. The wine is then aged in French oak, around 50% new.
