Decanter Magazine Review
Rated 94
Dark chocolate, liquorice and red cherries on the nose, ripe and darkly aromatic. Excellent energy and life to this, immediately juicy and vibrant with a rush of bright strawberry, raspberry and red cherry fruit flavors with a satin-textured mineral, minty kick at the end. Balanced and harmonious - such a joyful wine with a lot to like and a lingering freshness in the mouth after several minutes. Easy drinking and easy to recommend. Drinking Window: 2023-2042.
