Mark Britton rated this wine as 80/100 with the following review:

I call this a "try hard" wine as it appears to be overtly seeking the traditional flavours known with cab/merlot blends. So much so that is actually lacks in many areas. I get some blackcurrant and smoke on the nose but it ends there. The wine is out of balance and there is literally no lingering finish to the wine in your mouth. Some of the initial flavour you get is long gone in mere seconds.
