A chunky, earlier drinking wine driven by vanilla pod to coffee grind and mocha oak tones, curtailing dark fruit allusions all, with a whiff of herb and graphite across the finish. Eminently drinkable.

It is attractively fruited and complex on the nose showing blackcurrant, blueberry, dried herb, anise and mixed nut characters. The palate is succulent and elegantly weighted, delivering bright fruit intensity together with fine texture and chalky tannins, finishing long and sturdy. At its best: now to 2022.
