The Tench slightly better than the Sugarloaf. But, did show some light alcohol burn.

Always dependable and always a joyful experience with all of Russell’s cab wines for me but it was not WOTN - first sip and I thought man I wish would have opened on a separate night as I thought would be the WOTN - so little shocking and yet it was a 95 - this is a COP -

Russell Bevan. His reputation precedes him and my first taste of one of his wines did not disappoint. '13 is still crazy young but this is going to be great.

EE bottling. Gorgeous perfume and stunning purity are two of many hallmarks of this deeply complex wine. Full bodied but not at all heavy, despite lofty oak spice and highish alcohol. Iron like minerality dominate the dense and spicy finish. There's a sense of place here which I like; something I hope Russel will explore further in future vintages. Yet, an easy 97 p.

Blackberries and cassis, cool oak treatment and oriental spice notes flow into a rich, fruit and pure palate with clever, accessible tannins and acidity enough to let flavors linger effortlessly on the juicy and complex finish. Just a tad sweet on the back palate. Let it settle for a few years.
