Great colour, aromas of mint, spice, & orange. Medium-bodied, lush, great acidity, flavours of black fruits, cinnamon, herbs, mocha, and hint of earth. Complex

The first seconds are perfect. Nice tannins and lovely red berries, but then it kind of died. The lenght we were expecting isn't there, still a great wine though.

Good value for money here. Had a super intense cinnamon and clove note going on but mostly black fruited. Sturdy and serviceable wine from a safe producer

Spectacular quality in a wine that is neither green nor over-ripe. Tannins are soft, mouthfeel is the right amount of full and acidity is a notch above medium keeping the wine fresh. Black cherry, plum, leather, bay leaf and a hint of cocoa. The wine is clean and classic and should continue to evolve nicely over the next few years, good thing I have three more bottles!
