94 Points

Sunday, July 30, 2023 - In a bit of a weird spot, I'd wait a few years to open any more. Very restrained right out of the bottle, but with quite a bit of air it starts to open up. A great wine from a fantastic vintage. Still very youthful with plenty of fresh fruit, but the tertiary is certainly developing. Wonderful balance, silky smooth tannins and a long evolving finish.

Deep ruby colour.

Pronounced aromas of black berry, cassis, black cherries, fresh dark plums, mushroom, leather, loam, cedar, cinnamon, mocha, coffee grounds, cigar box.

Pronounced palate.

Medium (+) body, high acidity, high silky tannins, long finish.
