Reviews and Ratings

L.J. Palmer WSET 3 rated this wine as 91/100 with the following review:

Deep purple coloured wine, with a pronounced aroma and taste of raspberry, black plum, and blackberry with chocolate and smoky notes and a hint of pepper. Dry, medium plus acidity, medium tannin and medium body. The wine paired very well with rosemary and thyme torta and old cheddar, and smoked beef. A pleasure to drink on its own or with food. It likes rosemary!
