89 | Boiled sugar aromatics. Jammy. Too ripe. Too sweet-fruited. Tiresome.
97 | Excellent colour, deep and purple-rimmed. Lovely ripe cassis and blueberry cabernet nose, fruit driving the wine but backed by substantial oak too. Excellent structure: tannins are in balance. Very impressive cabernet.
91 | tannic edge, pencil lead, rocky and firm mineral backbone, balanced structure, firm gripping tannis that need time or food to mellow
92 | Appealing chocolate plum and sweet spice nose. A hint of peppermint. There is a lot of oak - palate cloaked in chocolatey sweet vanilla. A shame because smart wine underneath but leaves slightly cloying coconut finish
