Reviews and Ratings

Jennifer Havers - WSET Level 3 rated this wine as 92/100 with the following review:

Lovely! Aromas of blackcurrant, cassis, and black cherry, with hints of mocha, eucalyptus and warm smoke. Full bodied, with bright acidity, and some soft, dry tannins, with luscious ripe berry fruit notes and a hint of smoke on the finish. Enjoy with a grilled steak.
