Tasting notes
Score 15/20 · Jancis Robinson MW

Very dark crimson. Good focus of ripe fruit on the nose. Slightly sweet and sour rather than well integrated, but an honest country wine. Apr 2016, www.JancisRobinson.com, Drink: 2020-2027

Score 92-93/100 · James Suckling

LVC made the grade this year with blackberry, mineral and spice aromas and flavors. Walnut skin too. Full body, integrated tannins. Long and beautiful. Mar 2016, www.JamesSuckling.com

Wine Spectator
Score 88-91/100 · Wine Spectator

A very bright, lively style, with a light peppery edge to the red currant and cherry flavors, backed by fresh savory and tobacco notes. This flirts with the herb side of the spectrum, but the fruit is solid. Mar 2016, James Molesworth, www.WineSpectator.com

Score 90/100 · Decanter

Rich, round and full flavoured with spice and dark fruit notes. A lovely mid-palate; tannins well rounded. Seductive wine that will be accessible early. Apr 2016, James Lawther MW, www.Decanter.com, Drink: 2019-2028
