92 | White and black pepper at first, a semblance of fruit in the background. Rich core, fleshy, nondescript fruit, with bright character.
95 | Opens with ripe, freshly picked blackberry and hints of vanilla. Round, rich and fleshy, good freshness and persistence, ripe, supple tannins to the close. Very well balanced with blackberry jam lingering to the close.
90 | Very good colour; youthful, deep and bold, if not very detailed. Same on the palate: bold, plain and solid, workmanlike. Will age well.
95 | Amazingly youthful with black cherry and plum. Some sweet new oak. There is a lot of tannin but enough density to support it. Sustained finish. Smart
