The medium+ intensity nose has mocha, chocolate, savoury oak, black pepper, dark berry, and blackberry aromas with hints of vanilla, plum, and meaty notes adding complexity. The dry, medium to medium-full bodied palate has pleasing savoury, chocolate, mocha, and peppery, ripe plum, and blackberry replays on the flavour profile. It has very good acidity, alongside finely textured and supple tannins, with good structure. Savoury on the long finish with mocha, chocolate, and oak notes. Tasted Sept. 2026. Score: 88+ pts
