Reviews
Deliciously savory, with notes of tar, dark chocolate, olives, currants and sun-dried tomatoes. Medium-bodied with fine, almost silky tannins, accompanied by bright acidity and salty minerality. Fresh finish. Drink now or hold.
This definitely shows the ripeness of the vintage with dried fruit and hints of chocolate and crushed stones. It’s full and layered with plenty going on. It’s richer and denser because of the hot 2017 vintage, but it remains quite bright and fresh. Drink or hold.
A tangy and fruity red with dried cherry, orange peel and stone character is very pretty. It’s medium-bodied, fresh and linear. Shows an energy and tightness. Drink now.
