100 Points - Decanter “Tiny yields from an outstanding and widely declared year. Deep and opaque with glorious minty-ripe aromas, this already sings from the glass. Concentrated and multi-layered berry fruit backed by the super fine-grained tannins and finishes with a flourish – a ‘wow’ of a wine."
