Decanter, December 2021

Yet another nose with standout freshness, even delicacy, but still quite youthful, mingling black fruit, spices, and spring flowers. A bit massive and still tightly wound on the palate, the wine has impressive tannic...

Still deeply colored, the wine is loaded with seemingly, endless layers of supple-textured, creamy, vibrant, blackberries, currants, and black plums. All of this is complicated by cigar box, wet earth, cedar, tobacco...

Blackberries, sweet tobacco, incense and currants. Aromatic. Medium to full body and firm, sleek tannins. Racy and refined. Shows lovely balance and finesse. Pretty now, but needs another three or four years of bottle...
