Gary Walsh wrote in The Wine Front. 94+ points. “Saw this in the shelf, and was curious, not having tasted but been aware of MB’s fine review of the 2014. Well, we all like to get our oates, don’t we. Perfume of bay leaf, exotic spices, assorted fresh black berries, mint, discreet pencil and vanilla oak. It’s medium-bodied, fine and even-keeled, just flowing along so beautifully from front to back, gentle cocoa tannin, settled acidity, mouth-perfume in with a mix of red and black berries, crisp, well-defined and long on the finish. Charm and precision. Beautifully made. A very big ‘yes’ from me.” Drink 2020 - 2030+”
