Drinking Window: 2022 - 2032
Enticing, heady fragrance of violets, undergrowth and spiced sour cherries – lovely vibrancy and vitality that extends through the palate. A spine of structured, sinewy tannins, roasted nut oak tones and nervy acidity holds up the complex, rippling flavours of rich black cherry, plum compote, autumn leaves and earthy minerals. This terroir-driven youngster is bursting with potential and will continue to integrate and age beautifully.
