Ken Gargett - Winepilot
A fresh and youthful style of Tempranillo, reminiscent of the Joven examples from Rioja. 100% wild ferment in old French oak puncheons for eight months. A deep magenta/purple, there are notes of warm earth, cloves, spices, cherries, leather and dry herbs. Youthful and fresh with good focus and direction supported by fine tannins. Notes of black fruits and coffee grinds emerge on the palate which shows excellent length. Enjoy this over the next half decade.
Ned Goodwin - JamesSuckling.com
Plenty to like here. A juicy, full-weighted expression. Veiled with florals and purple pastilles and underlined by nicely appointed oak and stiff upper lip tannins, less assertive than cabernet, but evident all the same. A lilt of eucalyptus and a spurt of sour cherries across the finish. An easygoing wine, brimming with flavor.
