Description
"Brilliant garnet-red in color with orange highlights. Firm, elegant and potent on the nose, it has scents of dog rose, mint and tobacco, scents which meld in the course of time into spices, coffee, licorice, truffle, leather and minerals. A full-bodied, rounded bouquet of great structure and balance, redolent of plum jam and withered brambles. The persistent chocolaty aftertaste is harmonious and enticing. Over the years it gradually refines its characteristics to achieve classic elegance and composure." - Winemaker Notes
"Spice, perfume, red fruits, almond, liquorice. Feathery, light, so bright and aniseed laced, and fresh and long and so bloody good. Incredible wine. I love it. That old trope ‘It’s like Burgundy’, is appropriate here, maybe." - 96 Points, Gary Walsh, The Wine Front
