"It’s wonderfully fruited on the nose, showing blackcurrant, dark cherry, olive, floral and toasted almond notes, leading to a weighty palate that’s succulent and fleshy. Tannins are fine and well integrated, finishing lingering and structured. At its best: now to 2030" Sam Kim, Wine Orbit, Sep 2023

Medium colour intensity, red ruby with garnet highlights. Deep ripe red fruits aromas that follow along with elegant flowery notes on a spicy clove and bitter chocolate background. On the palate quince, jam, blackberry and yogurt notes on a smoked vanilla aftertaste. Pleasant and silky end.
