Gold [GFW23]

2023 Global Fine Wine Challenge

91 | Chocolate, toffee caramel oak-infused. Lashings of gripping tannins. Massive wine. Needs ages.

94 | Opulent luxuriously fruited aroma. Dark chocolate and plum, very slight hint of raisins. Humungous opulent sweetly fruited palate. Lots of alcohol and tannin but seems in balance thanks to density of ripe fruit. Not for the faint hearted.

91 | mineral, dusty oaky firm mineral grip, the wine has layers and freshness, weight and complexity and ends with a spicy long finish, plum skin and spiced cherry and attractive fruit finish

95 | RIpe dark fruit. Plush. Cleansing on the close. Pure blue fruits. Lovely balance and freshness.
