"Vibrant, fresh nose of blood orange, dried cherry and earth notes. Plenty of structure and fruit concentration, with long, chewy acidity that's well integrated with the fruit. Firm, dusty, muscular yet ripe tannins. Balanced in a powerful style. A wine that needs time to reach its maximum. Drink from 2029."

"Red berry, exotic brown spice new leather and forest floor form the nose. On the palate, star anise, black tea and hint of black olive accent a red cherry core. Taut fine-grained tannins provide support. Drink 2027–2032. Abv: 14.5%"
