Critics reviews

Neal Martin 92/100

The 2021 Cabernet Sauvignon is matured in 50% new oak for the first year and 2,000 oval Austrian foudre in the second year. This is more cohesive and fresher than the 2022 Cabernet Franc tasted alongside blackberry, cedar and graphite aromas. The palate is vibrant on the entry, well-balanced with pliant tannins, and taut and linear before fanning out with impressive precision on the finish. This would give a top Bordeaux a run for its money—definitely a level-up on the previous vintage.

Drink 2025 - 2040

James Suckling 93/100

Scented nose of dark plums, blackberries, cherries, cedar and baking spices. Medium body with fine, firm tannins. It is well-balanced and harmonious, with a juicy core of cherries mingling with spices and hints of wild herbs. Focused and poised with a precise developing finish.
