The ripe & spicy medium-high intensity nose offers lovely black & red cherry, peppery spice, blackberry & stony mineral aromas w/ touches of floral & oak spice. The dry, medium-full bodied palate shows elegance & finesse with delicious black raspberry, red & black cherry, peppery spice & mineral flavours, joined by meaty & floral touches that add complexity. It's well-supported by juicy, well-balanced acidity & smooth, fine-grained & well-structured tannins. It's nicely balanced w/ savoury mineral notes on long, gently chalky finish, w/ excellent length. Tasted Oct. 2024. Score: 90+ pts
