TASTING NOTE: Refined and complex, the wine shows dark cherry, dried herb, game and toasted nut characters on the nose, followed by a concentrated palate displaying excellent weight and depth. Wonderfully framed by layers of fine-grained tannins, making it structured and engaging. Certified organic. At its best: now to 2031. Score - 96 (Sam Kim, wineorbit.co.nz, April 2023) |
