Reviews

James Suckling 92

A meaty and chewy red with notes of blackcurrants, walnuts, mint jelly and roasted meat. Full-bodied, with pleasantly chewy tannins that melt into savory and tasty layers of black fruit. Drink or hold.

Tasting notes

Color: Handsome chromatic cherry with a bluish robe.
Nose: Aromatically intense with mysterious, seductive and elegant notes. In the nose it shows hints of blackberry, black liquorice, touches of wild anise and sweet plum puree.
Palate: Luxurious, mouth-watering and well armed with a touch of acidity which gives it freshness and subtly counters the sweetness of well ripened grapes.
