Mike Bennie - The Wine Front
"Lovely spice notes in the bouquet, clove, pepper, cedary notes, old leather, tobacco, then dark fruits, anise, plums. Lots going on between brooding fruit and savouriness. Tight tannins and crisp acidity keep the wine in check. It’s juicy, but crunchy-textured, very long in flavour, spicy, moody with blue and black berry fruit feel. It’s got a lot more structure than I’ve seen from a Little Wine. It is very good and oh so delicious drinking."
