Reviews
"Attractive ripe berries with dried orange peel, sweet spices and nut shell. Medium-bodied with fine, polished tannins. Slightly tight still with hints of walnut and cedar. Chalky finish. Drink from 2024." [+]

"Black fruit, blackberries, black plum, and cassis. intense nose of clove, pepper, and toast, with a little more restraint on the palate. Tannins are well-integrated, but linger on the finish. " [+]Decanter World Wine Awards Bronze 2023
