Complex and rich raspberries, plums, vanilla oak, sweet toasted spices and hints of cedar on the nose and palate. Full-bodied, fresh and supple structure. Good level of density and layers, transiting to a lingering and spicy finish. Drink now with some decanting for better balance. Will continue to evolve for the next 3 years.

Very floral and ripe berries with undertones of savoury herbs and earthy spices on the nose. Palate is rich, perfume and smooth. Balanced and almost silky in the texture, leading to a clean and dense finish. Ready to drink now and for the next few years.

Profound bouquet, toasted almond, deep blue and black fruits, earthy spices and no hints of oak overtones even though this is aged in oak. Bold and intense palate, full-bodied and firm structure. Some minerality. This needs time as most elements are hidden behind the opaque mid-palate for now. Transition from entry to finish is quite seamless and extended. Long and lingering finish. Potential to show more complexity and layers in 5-8 years time. 91-93 pts.
