Tasting notes
Such a beautiful nose with notes of white pepper, baked strawberries, sage, thyme, bark and rose petal. Full-bodied with such elegance and subtly. Fine, chewy tannins are soaked in vibrant fruit. Build to last and needs time to integrate with itself but this is stellar and will get even better with time. Best after 2025.

Opaque ruby. An array of ripe red and blue fruit and floral scents are joined by suggestions of dark chocolate, lavender and baking spices. Chewy and focused on the palate, offering deep-pitched bitter cherry, black raspberry and cola flavors and a hint of dark chocolate. Aeration brings energy and a sweeter cast to the wine. Closes very long and taut, with resonating spiciness and steadily building tannins.
