Reviews

It's certainly not a wine for people who don't like oak, but there's balance here, which is the most important point - the fruit is matched (or up to) to the oak. So even if you'd rather have a bit less of it, it's more a question of style rather than one of quality. A mix of bright red and black fruits, aniseed, cold milk coffee, spice, wood and nougat - plenty of oak influence but it's good oak, quality oak. Medium to full bodied and spicy with excellent flow and freshness, fine grained but appropriately firm and shapely tannin, and a long savoury coffee finish. It's not a blockbuster, but it's intense and flavoursome.
