'I like the smoked meat and struck-flint edge to this wine that shows lovely ripe, dark cherry, mulberry and wild cherry tones. There's a subtle gaminess below that fruit with five-spice and Chinese barbecue shop notes along with amaro, wood spice, dried citrus rind and pressed blossom. Medium bodied with a touch of sour cherry and dried herbs, bright acidity and a complex, lingering retreat.'

Very deep and bright red-purple hues, the bouquet deep and latent with dark cherry/blackberry and violet nuances, while the fruit is very intense on the palate, deep and concentrated with sumptuous ripe flavours of dark fruits backed by masses of fine-grained, drying tannins that refresh the finish and help extend the very long aftertaste. Impressive concentration and power: very ripe but also vibrant. It will richly reward cellaring. This has some wow factor. 19 DEC 2023
