Saturday, February 24, 2024 - This is a fantastic wine - so good we ordered another online before this one was finished. Juicy and rich like a young Pinot but the 50% CS / 50% Carmenere blend could never be mistaken for Pinot.

Expressive nose of ripe strawberry, oregano, chocolate and pepper.

Full bodied with balance and structure. Firm, young tannins, persistent acids and plenty of alcoholic warmth suggest this wine will improve in time.

Flavours add plenty of cooking spices and a complex blend of black fruit and chocolate / tobacco.

Try again in a few years.
