“Loads of primary fruit showing now, set very much in the essence-zone with cherry compote, violet perfume and blackberry purée. The palate shows good depth and composition, though, a firm layering of tannins carrying darkly spiced fruit long and vivid, thanks to refreshing acidity. Drink now.”

“A decadent and exotic red on the nose with Indian spices, black truffles, plums and fresh leather. Full-bodied, very chewy and deep with polished and poised tannins, giving this wine energy and excitement. Just a baby, but a great wine. Better in 2022, but who can wait?”

“Black cherry, black currant and plum flavors are shaded by leather and tobacco notes in this opulent red. Well-integrated and long, fading gracefully, with accents of iron, leather and earth. Best from 2018 through 2030.”
