An exotic bouquet with new shoe leather and a sprinkle of sultry spices, the full-bodied palate with supple blackberry fruits to the fore and an underlay of integrated French oak. There is a finesse to the overall texture, structure and flavour that is remarkable.”\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cem\u003eTasted 29 March 2017\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e96 Points — Robert Parker, The Wine Advocate\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cem\u003eTasted September 2018\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eJames Suckling\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n“Very complex aromas of meat, spices, leaves and dark berries follow through to a full body, tight and chewy tannins and a long and flavorful finish.
