Alistair Cooper MW – 17+/20 (JancisRobinson)
“100% Syrah. Aged for 12 months in 400- and 600-litre barrels (none new) and a further 2 months in tank. Barrel sample. Tasted blind. Spicy and very vibrant nose with crushed violets and raspberry. Superb fresh acidity and an elegant lightness of touch, with structured and layered tannins. Good concentration of fruit behind this and a long fresh textured finish. (AC).”
