The Review:
Campbell Mattinson, The Wine Front - 94pts
"This is meaty, spicy, floral and no doubt more, its plum-shot heart surrounded by all manner of goings on. Floral notes sit high in the wine, as do smoked meat characters and sweet cedar. It’s a hell of a ride but, most importantly, it’s a convincing one.”
