Press review:
Jancis Robinson MW: “Deep crimson. Very intense and beautifully integrated. Velvety and very right bank but without excess. Really rather beautiful for the money. Fruit/tannin/acid balance is just right and there is still considerable potential for development. Very Good Value. Drink now-2029.” 16.5+ points
