Mike Bennie, The Wine Front - 94pts
"There’s a great vibe here and geez drinkability is high. A vibrant perfume of sour cherry, cherry cola, dried cranberry, fennel and a mix of Italian herbs. The palate shows off similar, a soft creaminess too, but that’s deceptive, the mid palate to finish all crunch, crispness, silty chew of fine tannin and a general sense of refreshment factor and then a touch of autumnal truffle, herbs and undergrowth. Touch of rustic, undergrowth and turned earth, hello. This layering of interesting, savoury depth general character is outstanding. Really good."
