88 points Stuart Knox, The Real Review, 12 September 2024
"Medium to deep ruby red colour. Plum and liquorice aromas. Supple plum fruits on entry, hints of coffee and anise sit in the core alongside the fruit, then firm gravelly tannins bring tension and drive. Good length, and dry to the end, but tannins are yet to meld properly with the fruit: this should occur over time. Drink 2025-2032."

Colour Vibrant ruby red.

Nose Fruits of redcurrant, plum and blackberry combine with complexing notes of tobacco leaf, cooking herbs and anise spice.

Palate Medium bodied, aromatic & flavoursome. Plush fruits of spiced plum and redcurrant jelly sweeten the front and mid-palates, whilst savoury herb nuances of thyme and bay combine with liquorice, ground coffee and dark chocolate spice to complex the finish. Silken tannins provide for form, structure and length.
