Notizen des Weinguts: Colour: Intensely dark at its core with a deep crimsonred hue. Nose: An attractive lift of violet adds floral perfume to is bright red and dark cherries, with deep undertones of chestnut and bitter dark chocolate imparting a brooding complexity. Palate: The near ideal conditions offered by 2019 have produced a brightly lit John Riddoch which flows elegantly without excess weight. Its vivid red and black forest berries sit within a classical medium
- weighted frame, before they extend with great persistence to a long finish marked by an Impression of sandalwood and finely detailed tannins.
- 97 Punkte ANDREW CAILLARD MW, The Vintage Journal: Deep crimson. Expressive blackcurrant, blackberry, mocha, espresso aromas with graphite, hint leafy notes. Generous, dense and inky with plentiful blackcurrant, blackberry fruits, fine chocolaty grainy tannins and well-integrated roasted chestnut, mocha, vanilla oak notes. Finishes cedar firm. Elemental and compact wine with lovely density, vigour and mineral length. Not ready to drink, but should unfold and develop brilliantly. 16 months in new and seasoned French oak barrels. 31 new French oak, 69 in 1-4yo French oak. 85 barriques, 15 hogsheads. Drink 2025 2038
- 97 Punkte Halliday Wine Companion, Erin Larkin: Like the 2018 that preceded it, this is a wine of stature, precision and endurance. The tannins are fine and omnipresent, but then a cabernet without tannins would be like a person without purpose. This is direct, forthright and confident, with a core of pure, soft and unfettered berry fruits that cascade over the tongue and trail through the interminable finish. The piercing intensity of fruit on the middle palate echoes in the mouth. Truly, sublime.
- 96+ Punkte The Winefront, Campbell Mattinson: This is a stellar release. Its everything you could hope for in a cabernet both pure and bold of fruit, elegant at the same time, lengthy, silken and rippled with fine-but-assertive tannin. One sip and I was both bowled over and convinced. Its awash with blackcurrant, whispered with tobacco, lifted with mint and finished with both redcurrant and cedarwood. Its the combination of power, balance and length that really sets it apart. Its so well put together that you could easily drink it now, seriously, though of course, its true magic will come in another 20 or 40 years time.
- 96 Punkte, JANE ANSON, Inside Bordeaux (062024): Deep plum in colour, exotic fennel and turmeric spicing, tons of cassis and black cherry, cocoa, eucalyptus, graphite and crushed rock. This is classic John Riddoch with its powerful but understated tannic frame, building through the palate with a slate edge that slows things down, and an undertow of savoury signature Cabernet Sauvignon cedar and pencil lead. Balanced and fresh, feels almost cool climate in its precision. 31 new oak (French oak barrels and hogsheads), 3.53ph. 2025-2042. JANE SAYS: Hold +3 years or carafe 4 hours. ;
