Notes | |||
"Garnet red color with brick-red nuances. Intense, complex aromas with sensations of cherry, mint, violet and jams. Severe and austere, powerful, sound; tasty with harmonic tannins; warm and full-flavoured with dominant features of violet and withered roses." —winemaker |
Critical Acclaim | |||
"There’s a dark, savory edge to the ripe cherries and berries on the nose and palate with hints of black licorice, dried mushrooms and powdered violets. Full to medium palate with firm, fruit-coated tannins and plenty of acidity in reserve, producing a tangy, spicy oak finish and a bright, citrus-peel aftertaste. Delicious and intriguing now, but it needs to even out somewhat. Lot of oak influence here. Try after 2023." —James Suckling |
