'Cab-led (78%) 2015 blend with cab franc & merlot has layered aromas of ripe fruit & cedarwood. Silky & restrained, subtle intensity & fine balance. Complexity & harmony emerging - time will add more. 50% new oak; 14.1% alcohol.' – Platter's Guide, 5* (95/100)
'Starting to show some appealing bottle development, this assemblage of Cabernet Sauvignon with 11% each of Merlot and Cabernet Franc is structured and built to age further in bottle. Concentrated and serious, with dense, sinewy tannins and perfumed 60% new wood. Drink 2022-27.' – Tim Atkin MW, SA Special Report 2021, 93/100
