Blackerry coulis with grilled game. Generous palate-feel but new French oak, too. Quite the youngster, this needs a few more years to settle down. Still, showed very well - & better - on Days 2 & 3.

This has a very lovely riff of sweet monastic spice, delicate fruit, not show'y, nuanced red fruits and a ever so slight note of tomato vine note but then some sweetness comes back, sweet liquorice smoke, amazing complexity. In the mouth this has freshness and a deft touch on the mouth, even a freshness, a great wine.

Pure black fruit, peppercorns, generously smoky oak. Creamy tannins and fresh acidity. Everyone's going to dig this!

Excellent. Would definitely get again. Earthy and very balanced. Not overly cherry.

This wine drinks like a Napa red but double it’s price. So delicious!
