BUY THE WINE

Simon Field | A discreet color, a gentle gloss. A nose of eucalypt and mint behind the red berries; subtle yet engaging. A creamy oak subtext rejoins the palate with surprising assertion. The rules of engagement have changed a little; a plush modern somewhat international style. Generous to a fault, yet inherently poised and entirely without fault! | 89

Andrew Jefford | Translucent red, with just a little black to it. Cleanly oaky aromas; light and fresh. Lively, tasty wine, with some depth and poise. An attractive spicy sweetness. Sound, soft-contoured drinking (little tannin). | 85

David Williams | An unmediated style of Garnacha that cuts straight to the very pure fruit—there’s something graceful and agile about the feel here, the ripeness exactly à point to make something raspberry- scented with feathery tannins. Delightful. | 92
