94/100 James Suckling
‘Striking nose of liquorice, dried sage and lychee. Ripe and full-bodied, but with plenty of cumin seed character and moderate tannins that support the richness on the mid-palate and give a clear line to the dry, decisive finish. Made from Demeter-certified biodynamically-grown grapes. Drink now or cellar. James Suckling
