Slightly medicinal on the medium-high intensity nose, followed by lifted aromas of black raspberry, dark cherry, vanilla, sweet oak spice, and rose floral. It's medium-full to full bodied and dry on the palate with pleasing vanilla and sweet oak spice flavours nuanced with ripe cherry, dark berry tones. It has fresh acidity and firm, well-structured tannins, while oak spice and vanilla notes lead to savoury earth notes on the long finish. Tasted May 2026. Score: 91+ pts
