“Very fresh with burnt oranges, tar, matchstick and hints of caramel and dark chocolate to the ripe strawberries. Medium-bodied, it has fine tannins that melt into the wine. Delivers citrus and berry fruit at the end. Slightly tannic and tight too. Give this two or three years to open. Try after 2026.” – James Suckling
