A distinctive and enticing bouquet of dark red berries and vanilla, baked plum and clove, gun flint and violet, dark rose and fresh tobacco. Complex and youthful, vibrant and fruity. Lovely weight and mouthfeel with a core of dark red fruit flavours then almost immediately a tautness from tannins, acidity and oak. The package of fruit with toasty wood spices, tobacco and dry stone mineral qualities deliver a wine that young and vibrant, intense and tasty. A wine that also needs some cellar time to bring together all the attributes and energy. A lengthy finish with best drinking from 2025 through 2035+.
