On the nose, smoke with a touch of char, ripe, ruby, candied, gummy, fruits of; blackberries black cherries, baked plum, strawberries, baked cranberries, raspberries with pomegranate extract. Dark, warm, rich earth, limestone minerals, dry crushed rocks, dark fresh floral bouquet and a field of spring violets.
You won’t mistake this for red Burgundy. The body is full and rich. Rounded, softened, chewy, sticky tannins. The palate has; the same smoke with char on the nose. The fruits are; ripe, sweet with a gummy bears quality. Yet on the long set, just a touch of sour. Blackberries black cherries, baked plum, strawberries, baked cranberries, raspberries, notes of blue fruits, with pomegranate extract. Cola, dark, dry herbs, warm, rich earth, saddlewood, limestone minerals, soft medium spice, dry crushed rocks, dark fresh floral bouquet and a field of spring violets. The acidity is round and pours like a steady stream on your tongue. The long; rich, ripe, well balance & polished finish lasts minutes. Drinking nicely with many years of good drink ahead...now through 2027.

Execellent wine.... Cooler vintage that was opened 7 years too early, however the wine is tasting fantastic. Charm, tense and clearly displays vineyard pedigree.
