Just from sticking your nose in the glass, it smells sophisticated, brooding and sensual. Red cherry meets vanillin, tea leaves and spice in this complex, layered expression.

Walnuts, cherries, chilis and roasted herbs on the nose. Firm and gently austere on the palate with a medium body, tight tannins and a focused, fresh finish. Try from 2024.

This is very much a wine of its vintage but has remarkable freshness and a sense of crunch adding tension. Long length. It's ready to drink but has a decade of evolution.
