Dry, medium bodied, fairly dense, slightly spicy, bright, ripe, plummy, crancherry flavours with a lingering, fairly high-acid, gently cedary, schisty finish.

| TASTING NOTE: Fragrant, floral, varietal and fruity. A delightful and enticing bouquet of red and purple skinned fruits, a core of minerality and gentle savoury tones. Youthful, crisp and salivating on the palate. Flavours of red cherry and plum, wild forest flowers and a core minerality. Fine tannins with an equally fine chalky texture, low to moderate oak flavours and textures, youthful acid line and lengthy elegant finish. Best drinking from day of purchase and through 2028+. Score - 95 (Cameron Douglas, MS, camdouglasms.com, Sept. 8, 2021) |
