Deep crimson purple hue; a bright and fragrant wine showing blackberry licorice toasty oak and violets on the bouquet; the medium-bodied palate is lively and super fresh accessible and thoroughly engaging offering very good value in every respect.

Black fruit chocolate coconut and toasty coffee oak tar and dolmades says my wife who's unfailingly good at identifying these sorts of things. Smooth plush and plump pretty fresh - acid a little nippy at this stage perhaps - but particularly good tannin work here - grainy ripe and satisfying to feel. Good shape and length. Good wine. Needs a little settlin' time before drinking so give it a year or so. 91+
