93 / 100"This Cabernet is a youthful wine, with tannins that are still grabby. There's a lot to like here—briary, earthy aromas; taut, tightly wound fruit and a fresh eucalyptus bite on the finish. Best to wait a couple of years to see it at its best. Imported by The Grateful Palate."

"Dark crimson. Lots of earthiness and character on the nose. A hint of chocolate and lots of opulence before this becomes a little stringy on the finish. Acidity a bit dominant for me."

"Lively, juicy cassis berry fruit; medium-bodied; not extractive and gentle oak. (Published 18 June 2021)"
