A nice, balanced, smooth wine that is accessible just 10 min after opening (no need to decant). Pronounced sweet milk chocolate, red cherries, and blackcurrant are offset by savory herb, soy, and leather notes into a refined finish. Linear but well-executed for the style. Drink 2023-2026. Technical score: 91. Enjoyment score: 93.

Nose of black fruit, black currants, allspice, and chocolate, same on the palate, big body, needs 3 years to peak but delicious now, small amount of soft tannins, mouth filling fruit, and a medium finish. Photo uploaded.

Nice ripe fruit (berries as well as chocolate), full mouthfeel, and a good finish. Drinking great right upon opening. Another Craig winner.

Deep, opaque indigo in color. Raspberry, plum, cassis on the palate. Full bodied with a medium finish and a hint of pepper and clove on the finish
