- 87/10087 out of 100 pointsBronzeJudges’ note
Herbal forest fruits compete with bacon and delicate earthy notes, framed by zingy acidity and fine tannins.
Decanter World Wine Awards judges - 90/10090 out of 100 pointsWine critic
Juicy and berryish with a nice sour cherry twist on the finish. Lots of sweet berry fruits here with good balance and a bit of crunch. Has a hint of stony mineral character under the fruit. Very drinkable with lovely fruit.
