Reserve status is only endowed if the grapes and resulting wine measures up to exceptional standard. Hand selected grapes from older, lower yielding vines are used. Fermentation is done with a selected yeast strain under controlled temperatures. Manual plunging during this period ensures optimal colour extraction. After seven days the tanks are closed and allowed to macerate for a further period, normally 10-14 days. Pressing follows and the wine is transferred to barrel for natural secondary fermentation. After a year in barrel, the individual batches are blended to form the final wine and returned to barrel for another year. Bottled unfined and matured in bottle for at least a year before release.

96 | A well balanced wine with expressive fruit, good concentration and a ripe, slightly gravelly tannin frame. I enjoy the lilting nature to the palate. A full-bodied wine with bold fruit expression.

96 | Distinctive and complex bouquet of dried herbs, cigar box bouquet. Classically styled, mid-weight with fresh acidity, fine backbone of al dente tannin, elongated palate. Superb length and persistence.

90 | Black berry spicy new oak. Palate has dry tannins with balanced acidity and good concentration of dark berry fruits.

97 | Well rounded wine with deepset blackcurrant, espresso mocha favours, plentiful grainy touch grippy tannins, underlying new oak notes. Finishes firm with an inky plume. Very good.
