  Beautiful and concentrated bouquet with ripe dark and red berries. Same on the palate, a firm amount of sweetness, good acidity and round, powerful tannin. Still very youthful, but also already enjoyable. Waiting another 3 – 5 years will be rewarding. 93 – 94++

  Incredibly pure raspberry compote note on the nose combined with warm rocks, fine spices, lavender and iron. Raspberry intensity transfers to the palate. Refined but high tannins with lovely texture and great texture. Persistant finish. Too young but very enjoyable.

  Needs years to mature (though already not too tannic)
