"Tasted blind. Appealing nose with crushed red fruits, lavender and sandalwood. The palate is layered and dense, with a sense of sweetness to the plump fruit core. The tannins are firm and very taut."

"Lovely aromatics here with ripe berry fruits and some floral cherry notes, as well as a spicy overlay. In the mouth there’s lovely pure fruit with good structure, and a touch of spicy, savoury oak contributing to the structure. "
