Always a personal favourite, this has a fresh, deep, medium to medium-high intensity nose of ripe black fruits, blackberry, violet, and black cherry aromas with touches dried herbs. It has a chewy, medium-full bodied palate with dry aroma replays led by oak spice and ripe blackberry notes on the flavour profile. It has crisp acidity, while the tannins are a touch youthful and grippy. Earthy and dark berry notes linger on the long finish. Tasted Oct. 2025. Score: 91+ pts
