Dry on the palate with the impact of tannins and acidity biting first, these are contrasted by the fleshy core fruits. The wine has a bold muscley frame and fleshy chewy core. It’s balanced and well made with a decent finish.

Lifted and leafy aromas, along with blackberry, ferrous earth, dried herbs and pencil shavings. Firm, grippy and structured on the palate. Cassis, dark cherry and spice flavours hit the palate first, then some seriously grippy and textured tannins kick in and partner with bright acidity to deliver length and mouth-feel\" Aaron Brasher, The Real Review, Sep 2025\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDeep crimson in colour.
