Very cool. Chasing benchmark wines is never easy, but this held its own.

Dark ruby red in appearance. Great nose with some greenery, dark berries and a bit of earthiness. Solid tannins (6/10) and medium plus bodied. Great acidity on the palate with some red cherries, currants and minerality. Long finish. Drink till 2026.
