Beautiful and full bodied wine with dark and red berries, herbs and spices, firm acidity and tannin. This wine needs another decade probably to really show itself. 91 – 93+ for now.
The bouquet is still locked but shows good citrus and some minerals. Beautiful citrus acidity, complexity and a touch of pleasant bitterness in the finish.

Sweet and ripe fruits in the bouquet and on the palate. The fruits is almost overripe. There is ok acidity and silky soft tannin. A bit too easy for my taste. 85 - 86
