Christian Eedes, Winemag:
“
From a vineyard planted in 2008 on a combination of granite and ferricrete. Matured for 12 months in older 225- and 228-litre barrels. Cassis, maybe a touch of olive, rose and some leafiness on the nose while the palate is medium-bodied – great fruit integrity, fresh acidity and firm but not coarse tannins. Pure and balanced, demonstrating that not all Cab needs to be gargantuan… 93/100.”
