Score 18/20 · Drink 2028-2040, Julia Harding MW, jancisrobinson.com, Nov 2017
100% new oak. Barrel sample. This really is black almost to the rim. Smokily reductive and quite a charry character at the moment. An early phase of life. Moreish and dense but with a lightness of touch. So charry at the moment it is difficult to see beyond it. So dense, I can barely get to the heart of it. I have to use my imagination here but everything is here, just a bit awkward at the moment. (JH)
