Description

"A fabulous expression of the variety offering beautifully lifted aromas of sweet plum, raspberry, violet, vanillin oak and subtle spice on the nose. The palate displays beautifully rounded mouthfeel and juicy fruit intensity, leading to a persistent refined finish. At its best: now to 2023" Sam Kim, Wine Orbit, Nov 2019

Deep and ruby red of great clarity and brightness. High intensity, fruity and floral aromas. Fine notes to toasted and spices. Full and harmonious, smooth and lingering. Very balanced and ample, long finish.
