  • 96p

  Blackberries, anise, spices, nuanced, scented and lifted nose, detailed and bright, very elegant.
Fresh acidity, ripe tannins, blackberries, anise, dark fruits, liquorice and spices, blueberries, detailed, nuanced and long. Sort of a soft giant, it feels lighter than it really is. 97-99

  • 99p

 Dark purple colour with violet hue and black core. Excellent nose fine floral character, wisteria and violets, juicy blackberries and blackcurrants, hints of sweet plums in the background. Subtle oak and discreet spiciness with hints of gingerbread and candied orange peel. On the palate velvety tannins with excellent structure, excellent mid palate, fine fruit and gingerbread spices, floral hints and dark chocolate. Excellent depth and length with fine minerality creating tension.
