4.5 STARS & BEST VALUE BUY, Winestate Magazine, May/June 2018
"A nose of ripe fruit and chocolate, with tobacco-like notes. The palate is soft and 'giving' and full of sweet plum fruit flavours laced with tannin and strong oak"
The Real Review, reviewed by Nick Butler, May 2019, www.therealreview.com
"Lifted, ripe raspberries with licorice and cloves. A primary, juicy blend with a sweetly-fruited mix of red and purple berries. It's crunchy, with grainy tannins on the finish. Great value"
