"Intense, reserved, brooding, cedar-lashed wine with a boosting boast of oozing blueberried/plummy fruit. It’s a swamp of French oak and fresh, explosive fruit. There’s leather, prune, smoke, meat, aniseed and violets too – it’s a self-contained riot, finished by fine, fetching tannins. Hot year, hot wine. 92 Points" - Campbell Mattinson, The Wine Front
