The medium+ to medium-high intensity nose takes some coaxing to reveal attractive aromas of ripe red berry, Bing cherry, sweet baking spices, dried herbs and savoury earth, plus accents of orange adding further intrigue. The medium+ bodied palate is dry and structured with complex and ripe flavours of red cherry, red plum, fine sweet spices, dried herbs, savoury oak, plus orange touches. It has fresh and juicy acidity, along with well-structured and somewhat grippy tannins. Savoury earth and smoky mineral notes linger on the long, textured finish. Tasted Sept. 2025. Score: 92+ pts
