Tasting notes:
" Intense and scented nose of dark cherries, blackberries, dried herbs, grilled meat and baking spices. It’s full-bodied with fine tannins. Creamy texture and a dense core of dark berries and spices mingling on the mid-palate. Compact and structured with a long, focused finish. From organically grown grapes. Drink or hold. " 93/100 James Suckling 2024
