93 / 100"Dried roses, juicy cherry, plenty of spice, toasted almonds and raspberry jubes. It’s medium-bodied, a little sappy and sour-cherried, with dried herb and a smattering of toasty oak, tannin feels slightly gritty and dry, but it steps up a bit on the finish with a freshening pomegranate sweetness and tang. Youthful and still a little choppy in feel as at now, but with potential in the tank to come."
