Reviews and Ratings

Julian Park rated this wine as 92/100 with the following review:

On the nose, sour cherry and ripe plum with a hint of leather and tobacco leaf. It was interesting that the wine had lost most of the tobacco aroma when tried the following day.
A full-bodied wine with strong acidity and a silky texture.
Flavours of black cherry, plum jam, leather, dark chocolate, tobacco and earthy tones.
The perfect wine to pair with burgers fresh from the BBQ.
Jennifer Havers - WSET Level 3 rated this wine as 90/100 with the following review:

So much flavour, and perfect for late summer BBQ's. Aromas of plum, blackberry, smoke, and spice. Medium+ bodied, with lighter tannins, and bright, mouthwatering acidity on the palate, along with ripe, plush dark fruit, and a spicy, smoky finish. Enjoy with BBQ ribs or pork.
