Somewhat fruit forward, but well structured and long persistence. Opened up nicely after an hour or so. Balanced, few tannins left, beautiful fruit still showing. A bit overextracted for my taste, but nice mellow persistence,

Fantastic aromatics of Chestnut, caramel, mint and dark plum fruits. Full bodied, almost loud in the mouth . Keen acid and receding tannins helped the pairing with Beef Wellington. Just on the brink of jammy ostentation but enough minerals and brett to give individuality and perky pizazz.

Lush and silky. Dark red fruits with eucalyptus and mnt notes. Enough acid to give it a medium finish.
