95/100 Bob Campbell, Master of Wine.
Dense, elegant Syrah. Fine grained, textural red that will clearly benefit from bottle ag. High energy, sophisticated wine.
94/100 Andrea Pritzker, Master of Wine.
Opens with bright red plum and a twist of spicy cracked pepper. Medium-bodied with hints of white blossom and silky tannins. Still slightly tight and firm at this stage. Will benefit from a year or two in the bottle to reveal its full potential.
5 Stars Michael Cooper.
Likely to flourish for at least a decade, it is mouth filling and supple with … a very finely textured lasting finish. A classy, very youthful red, it shows great finesse.
94/100 James Suckling.
Very attractive Syrah with slate, graphite, iodine, blackberry, and plum aromas, following through to a medium body with polished and medium, round tannins that deliver a lovely textured finish. Some bark and mushroom at the end. A decadent and flavorful Syrah.
95/100 Winefolio
Red plum, cacao nib, black pepper, boysenberry, sumac, graphite and cassis on the nose. The palate shows a confident, youthful energy, but is toned and supple – the elements interplay and sing on the same wavelength. A fine tannin profile is polished and with just a little grip and spice; a smoky smudge of oak lingers as a background note; and the fruit is firmly concentrated and succulent. The lick of acidity gives movement and leads you through layers of discovery – more souk spice, a verdant texture, and that dense core of fruit. A well-crafted and well-articulated wine that bodes well for future of this label that has already caught the eye.
