“This is very structured, with fine tannins that give a layered and focused character. Blackberry, graphite and slate character. Medium-bodied and slightly chewy, with a flavorful finish. A year or two would soften it a bit, but it’s already very pretty.” – James Suckling
Tasting Note: Lively purple-red colour with dark cherry and black currant, notes of white pepper, bacon, and a hint of green olives. Elegantly structured with vivid acidity and lots of freshness. The finish shapes, develops, and lingers, with minerality, bacon, black cherries, and a hint of dark chocolate in the finish. This will age and evolve nicely for a couple of decades.
