Critic Notes
This is a super red with stone, terracotta and dark berry character. Medium to full body, seamless tannins. Very long and beautiful. Powdery mouthfeel. Lovely acidity. The white pepper and quartz character really comes through. Drink now. But made for ageing.
Score: 96-/100James Suckling
