"a welcome sense of plushness"
Julian Coldrey, Full Pour
Year: 2010
Editorial: "Entry is bright and fresh, with well-judged acidity carrying light plum fruit flavours through to the middle palate. Weight is light to medium bodied, intensity in a similar range, yet the components seem balanced overall. There's an attractive icing-sugar sweetness to the middle palate, adding some nuance to the fruit flavours and contributing a welcome sense of plushness." (2009 Vintage)
