Gold medal, 95/100 - "The World’s 20 Best Wines Under $20" at the Decanter World Wine Awards 2024.
Gold & 95/100 – International Wine Challenge 2024
"Succulent and concentrated with flawless blackberry fruit melded with black pepper and dried herbs. The lush richness is tempered by silky smooth tannins and clearly defined structure." Decanter World Wine Awards Judges' Comments (2022 Vintage)
"Depth of flavours and complexity in the wine – leads to notes of attractive cherry red fruit, black plum, white pepper. Inky, vibrant, vein of minerality. Opaque, intense damson and liquorice, sprinkle of herbs, plummy fruit and tightly structured." IWC Judges' Comments (2022 Vintage)
"Superbly ripe and richly expressed, the bouquet shows blackberry, smoked game, potpourri, and roasted hazelnut aromas. The palate is equally impressive with terrific weight and concentration, wonderfully framed by plump mouthfeel and beautifully melded tannins, making it highly enjoyable. At its best: now to 2037." 5 Stars & 95/100 Sam Kim, Wine Orbit, November 2024 (2022 Vintage)
