Super perfumed, attractive violets with a thread of fresh blueberries, cassis, blackberries and dark plums, delivering a very enticing impression. Beautiful ripeness here. The tannins are perfectly ripe and layers meld into each other, carrying deep, graceful and plush, velvety dark fruit long into the vibrant and seductive, chocolate-laced finish. Great potential. Try from 2024.

Deep colour. Intense black currant, liquorice dark children aromas. Really opulent
and beautiful. Generous elegant style with cassis herb flavours, fine mature chalky
tannins and integrated savoury oak notes. Lovely natural power, density and
length. Will be something.
