Score 16/20 · Drink 2012-2018, Jancis Robinson MW, Aug 2007

Rich, distinctive nose reminiscent of some decongestant! Some unusual oak note… Oak tannins rather than underripe grape tannins dominate here – not sure the fruit will ever completely triumph but there is no shortage of character here. (JR)

Berry, cola and subtle mahogany aromas follow through to a medium body, with slightly earthy, funky character, but I like the meat, berry and chocolate flavors on the aftertaste. A little disjointed at the moment. Needs bottle time. Best after 2012. 4,165 cases made. James Suckling, Wine Spectator 2009.
