Deep red hue that opens with herbal notes of tomato leaf, thyme and black pepper. Raspberry and sun-dried tomato dominates the front palate, followed by black cherry and subtle balsamic and tobacco flavors. Perfectly balanced acidity and fruit with a long lasting finish. Could be a couple years from peaking but thankfully several more bottles are waiting their turn for opening.

Nice flavourful without being overwhelming. It is acidic and needs to breathe when opened. Tannins are low, so not very heavy and goes well with mildly flavoured meats and vegetables

Herbal, aromatic nose. Fabulous acidity. Suede-y tannins. Red fruits, tart, with a cocoa powdery earthiness. The nose is so pretty and lifted. Aromatic and full of dried flowers and herbs. Lovely length. Splashily Decanted around 45 mins before serving. No sediment.

Hour and a half decant, with a nose of raspberry, herbs and vanilla which leads into a quite expressive palate of balanced acidity and tannins, with the nose expressing itself here as well. Medium mouthfeel with a longer finish, this is a great expression of this style.

Tertiary development. Good acid, clear vanilla notes in finish wrapped up in dark fruity notes. Tannins very soft. Medium ruby to garnet.
