This shows a broody complexity of piercing spice and musk, cherry and black berry fruits. The palate is full and harmonious with a well-integrated acidity, chalky tannins, a fleshy strawberry compote character and a savoury bruleed finish. Very stylish indeed. Drink from 2026 to 2036+.

An overtly spicy nose combines notes of both red and dark cherry, exotic tea and a floral top note that also displays enough wood to merit mentioning. The sleek, vibrant and beautifully textured flavors are rich to the point of opulence while delivering solid length. This does though need to develop better depth so at least a few years of cellar time should help. [Allen Meadows, 10/01/2026]
