Light vanilla tones are backed by lots of astringent red fruits, red currant and pomegranate, with a hint of herb and roast meatiness. Enters with sweet red fruits, slightly exotic berries fruits, fruit di bosco, nice freshness and good balance that help to hide it’s 16% Very candied but in a fresh way, sugared raspberries with a peppery cinnamon edge for balance, Nic crisp tannins and a lovely stemmy tone add length to the finish. 88pts

Pretty well-contained enjoyable zin. Gentile nose with lots of dirt. Well balanced and sweet without being too sugary. Grainy short finish. Middle of the road for me.
