It's sweetly ripe and inviting on the nose with dark berry, cake spice, vanilla and roasted hazelnut aromas, followed by a delightfully flavoursome palate offering juicy fruit intensity combined with silky tannins, leading to an elegant delectable finish. At its best: now to 2033.

Attractive riffs on terracotta, mulch, tar, anise, iodine and dark cherry. There is an underbelly of verdant herb conferring savouriness before a full-weighted mid-palate expands across a lithe tannic band, exuding sweetness on either side. Charm, warmth, personality and regional fidelity in spades.
