Julia Harding, MW, called this wine \"... dark-fruited and smoky/savoury..\" and \" ...Very elegant indeed\" and suggested a drinking window extending through 2026. (jancisrobinson.com, April 26, 2017) TASTING NOTE: Aromas of graphite and dark fruit with hints of spice and tea bag. Mushroom too. Full body, yet refined and beautifully textured. Love the low oak impression. Made in mostly concrete eggs. Fantastic. Drink now. Score - 95 (James Suckling, jamessuckling.com, June 21, 2017) Price $ 49.95
