A soft wine with some leather and black cherry. Really enjoyable and easy to drink. Stands up even against spicy food. Read more

The nose shows some subtle dried bay leaf undertones and hints of lightly nutty oak framing rather fresh plum fruit. Restrained yet balanced. This enters the mouth with freshness and some precision, which unfolds with fine red plum and berry fruit over a light wash of oak spice and earthy elements. The acidity is juicy and the tannins crisp, adding to the balanced, transparent mouthfeel. The finish shows a little nervy edge and fine persistence to the cranberry-rhubarb flavors that continue to cover the oak right through the slightly nutty and cocoa-dusted finale. 91pts
