“The nose is fragrant and savoury, and in 2016 the fruit particularly red/black and very pure. The texture is creamy and supple aided by dense sweet sift tannins that build the structure without drying out the wine."

"It begins with aromas of cassis and blackberry. On the palate, there are flavours of black cherry mingled with herbal and spice notes. The tannins are polished, with a firmness that will support cellaring."
