94 Points | International Wine Cellar , May/June 2011

Full ruby-red color.  Very ripe aromas of raspberry, licorice and menthol; this too struck me as claret-like.  Sweet and refined in the mouth, already showing superb harmony to its raspberry, redcurrant and graphite flavors.  Finishes with suave tannins and outstanding length.  Like the Melbury, this seems balanced to give early pleasure but should have no trouble lasting for 15 to 20 years in bottle.  (Incidentally, pHs here were average in 2008 but acids a bit higher, said director of winegrowing Bob Levy, who offered the opinion that 2008 was a bit like 2005 in style.)
