About

Rating:

92

"Lots of dried black fruit and cherries on the nose with lightly exotic notes of dates, as well as light spices and dried herbs. Full-bodied with loads of black licorice coating the firm tannins and giving a long, savory finish. A little rough at the edges just now. Needs a bit of time to integrate better. Best from 2023."

Product Description:

"Colour: Deep burgundy with sparkling shades of red.

Fragrance: Ethereal, complex, with notes of licorice and vanilla against a refined background of berries. Tertiary features are well highlighted, pleasantly balsamic with pink pepper and exotic spice.

Flavour: Full bodied. Dry, rounded, harmonic, with an intense and persistent aftertaste, reminiscent of sour black cherries and berries. Complex, long-lasting and all embracing." - Winery
