- Tick, tick tick….
91-94 Pts ‘Allen Meadows, Burghound ‘… beautifully layered aromas of plum, spice, dark currant and freshly turned earth. The highly energetic and delineated middle weight plus flavors exude noticeable minerality on the powerful and focused finish that displays outstanding depth and persistence. Moreover, the finish really fans out as it sits on the palate. Drink 2029+’
91-93 Pts Neal Martin vinous.com '…The nose features layers of blackberry, raspberry and crushed stone aromas, and the sweet, candied palate is medium-bodied with fine-grained tannin. Blood orange and quince infuse the red fruit toward the finish. Excellent. Drink 2022 - 2038.'
94 Pts, Gary Walsh, Winefront '... The wine takes 40-50% new oak, and 50-60% second fill. A fair volume of plum and dark cherry fruit, spice, dark roast coffee beans, orange oil and rose perfume submerged under that. It’s dark, lush and toasty, some raspberry juiciness, cool ‘mineral’ acidity offering a light tang, and fine grainy, slightly charry tannin runs on a long and ample finish. I’d rather a bit less oak but reckon it will settle with appropriate bottle age. Drink: 2023 - 2033+'
