93 / 100"Shows a kind of ‘dried brown spice’ aroma, clove/cinnamon/garam masala sorta vibe, with those freeze-dried raspberries, that kids eat, also smashed in. Indeed, it kinda smells dry, before your first sip, if you can project that. Sloshes in the palate more than expected, loose knit sense but there’s a firm, lacy ribcage of tannins, and acidity is ultra-perky and refreshing. Sweet fruit feel too. Fresh and fun and sleek. Very good drinking."

Tasting Notes
Intense coffee and spice-accented aromas of ripe black and blue fruits, olive and violets. A very energetic dark wine with beautifully ripe fruit flavours A blend of power and vivacity it finished very long with bright acidity
