Press Reviews |
Dense and focused, this has bold raspberry and cherry fruit with some grippy tannins as well as a bit of spicy richness. It’s chunky and vivid to the sweet red and black fruit. Big and bold, solid and structured with energetic dark fruit accompanied by a pronounced mineral thread, with freshness to match. An intriguing example. |
