Powerful tannins and ripe fruits are the main characters here. With a solid, foursquare character, it is generous and opulent. Tannins and concentration are all there, resulting in a wine with serious aging potential. Apr 2017, Roger Voss, www.wineenthusiast.com
Very polished in feel, with layers of blueberry and raspberry puree gliding along, inlaid with sweet spice, black tea and melted black licorice. Almost too easy, but the fruit is hard resist. Apr 2017, James Molesworth, www.winespectator.com
Sweet, dried fruit start. Zesty and with some energy as well as all that ripe fruit. Apr 2017, www.jancisrobinson.com, Drink:2024-2038
