Heady scents of rose petals, red and black cherries, forest berries and gentle cedary oak reveal faintly earthy, meaty and citrus-like undertones. Underpinned by a firm spine of astringent, slatey tannins, its rich, chewy palate of small berry and cherry flavour extends with remarkable length and drive, as well as balance and restraint, towards a lingering, savoury finish. Everything is in place for this wine to build considerable depth and power over time. Try to give it the chance!
