Slightly deeper colour , brighter ruby centre . More crunchy summer fruits , red currant , cherry , blackberry , floral notes, more fresh and vivacious than the Tortochot . On the palate this is slightly better balanced with a rounder more red fruited character , red cherry , raspberry , mineral , just slightly smoky hint. Sweet rounded but still grippy tannin , balanced fresher acidity, mineral stony touches, saline finish . Better length . Young but showing quite well , even better in 3-5 years and will last well at least another 5-8. This was a little more nuanced , fresh and elegant in style than the Tortochot, certainly with more polish in regards the tannins .

Cedarwood, chantarelle broth and ripe strawberry on the nose. Tastes of ripe blueberry, strawberry, light, old leather, a dash of white pepper and a faint whisper of mint. Delicious but slightly thin on the palate to be one of my all-time favorites.

Perplexing, intense, day-dream inducing. Quite, confident and ridiculously layered. The type of wine that makes you ponder more than what's in the glass. Existential wine.

Perfection! Young, bright, very open and blooms with fruit, cherry, white flowers and honey. Love it!
