Description

"Beautifully ripe and immediately appealing on the nose with dark cherry, sweet strawberry, floral and olive characters, it's succulent and supple in the mouth displaying bright fruit intensity together with silken texture and fine tannins, finishing lingering and smooth. A gorgeous modern rendition. At its best: now to 2025" Sam Kim, Wine Orbit, Jan 2022
