Wine Advocate 91 points - Blended of 87% Cabernet Sauvignon, 8% Petit Verdot and 5% Cabernet Franc, the deep purple-black colored 2016 Cabernet Sauvignon reveals notions of pure cassis and crushed plums with tobacco, sage and forest floor in the background. Medium-bodied, it has great vivacity and a plush texture with a peppery finish..January/2019

James Suckling 91 points - This blend of 87 per cent cabernet sauvignon with petit verdot and cabernet franc, has plenty of attractive blackcurrant and violet aromas, leading to a palate that offers a riper style with rich dark plums and berries set amid quite firm tannins. Drink or hold..November/2018
