| TASTING NOTE: Offering gorgeous fruit purity and intensity, the bouquet shows lifted notes of mulberry and blackberry with nuances of tar, cocoa and cedar. It's concentrated and expansive on the palate, delivering velvety texture and chalky tannins, making it generous and flavoursome while remaining firm and structured. At its best: now to 2030.
