Vintage 2018
Complex, ripe, and alluring with red fruits layered over black pepper and hints of game. The palate has lovely fruit weight, and fine tannins with vanilla bean and raspberry carrying through a long finish.
Vintage 2018
“Integrated, classic, varietal and spicy pepper bouquet. Aromas and flavours of peppercorn, raspberry, black olive and currants. there’s a black currant tea flavours then leather and barrel spices, a stony soil notes and balanced readiness. Firm tannins are integrating well, acidity remains strong – both adding texture and longevity. Balanced, well made and ready to enjoy with food. Best drinking upon purchase and through 2024.”
